Description

Pinot Noir has been present in Basilicata since ancient times. An Extraordinary Terroir.
The richness of minerals and elements imparted by ancient lava flows gives these wines a unique flavour.
Our Pinot Noir vines grow on volcanic rock at an altitude of 800 metres, where the climatic conditions create a wine of truly distinctive character.

The grapes come from the vineyard’s “second harvest”. After picking the grapes destined for our sparkling wine production, we harvest the remaining Pinot Noir bunches to produce Vulcano 800. These grapes are riper, with higher sugar levels and a more pronounced colour intensity. Following vinification, Vulcano 800 is aged in barriques for approximately one year.
