PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEW:
After over 20 years of making wine in Tuscany, Fabrizio and Cecilia Piccin went in search of a new winery and settled in Basilicata, home of the Vulture volcano and some of the most distinct and age-worthy Aglianico-based wines in Italy. They established the Grifalco winery in 2004; their sons Lorenzo and Andrea are at the helm now, with Lorenzo, a trained enologist, overseeing the winemaking, and Andrea spearheading the commercial operations.*

Their 16 hectares of organically cultivated vineyards are deeply rooted in the volcanic soil of Vulture on hillsides between 450 and 580 meters above sea level, with vines up to 80 years old. Each parcel is harvested and vinified separately, creating wines that stay true to their distinct terroir.*

The late-ripening Aglianico varietal yields wines of exceptional elegance, especially in Lorenzo's hands. Today's wine is a monovarietal sourced from vines aged 10 to 30 years old. Fermented in stainless steel and lees-aged in seasoned French and American oak for 6 to 12 months, it is medium-to-full-bodied, with aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and black cherry that follow through on the brambly palate. Accents of graphite minerality and wild herbs give away its origins.
