Carbone > Basilicata

In the heart of Basilicata, the Carbone family has been growing Aglianico grapes since 1974. The vineyards are on volcanic soil, on the lower slopes of Mount Vulture, in Melfi. Sara Carbone and her brother Luca manage the estate, which they inherited from their parents. They have been estate bottling since 2005. The wild and natural environment of Vulture, along with its unique microclimate, transforms Aglianico into an expressive wine, typically smoother and more lush than when grown in neighboring Campania.
The wines are vegan.

Fiano

100% Fiano.
Basilicata IGT.
The hand harvested grapes are destemmed, the juice is then cooled and left with the skins for a brief period of time. The wine is fermented under temperature-controlled conditions, immediately racked off, filtered and kept at low temperatures. This maintains the fruity aromas in their freshest state and allows for a natural stabilization process. 13.5% Alcohol.
