The wine region of Basilicata
Austere region of southern Italy between Campania and Apulia, kingdom of volcanic Aglianico. Aglianico del Vulture signature DOCG on volcanic soils (~1,500 ha at 700 m): powerful, structured reds with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, tobacco, leather, liquorice and a smoky mineral touch, firm tannins and long ageing — compared to Nebbiolo and Barolo.

The word of the wine: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
