The winery

Cantina di Venosa is one of the most renowned companies in the South. Established in 1957, today there are 350 conferring members for an area of ​​approximately 800 hectares of vineyards. The winery, located in Venosa, a city in the north of Basilicata, established itself as the largest producer of Aglianico in the Vulture area. From this particular volcanic soil and thanks to the fortunate exposure of the Venosa hills, an Aglianico is born with an intense ruby ​​red color with garnet reflections, a fruity and ripe bouquet and the savory and harmonious unmistakable flavor of the Vulture.
