Cantine Terra dei Re was born in the heart of Vulture, in Basilicata, a remarkable land shaped by the power of its ancient volcano.
Over the centuries, eruptions and lava flows have enriched these soils, creating ideal conditions for viticulture.
It is here that an ancient grape variety finds its fullest expression: Aglianico del Vulture, transformed through the work of man into a noble red wine of remarkable character.

Cantine Terra dei Re was founded in 2000 by the Rabasco and Leone families, who
envisioned a distinctive winemaking project deeply rooted in
the geological and cultural heritage of Basilicata.
Located on the slopes of Mount Vulture, an extinct volcano that has enriched the soils with unique minerals and elements for millennia, the winery embodies a rare balance between tradition and modernity.
GEOGRAPHY
The geographical advantage of mount Vulture is strictly connected to climate, this is a southern area the clime of which is very similar to the northern one. Long day light hours and high thermic excursions are the elements that characterize these places unique for their climatic and soil conditions.
CLIMATE
The areas are well ventilated, the ideal altitude for the cultivation of Aglianico del Vulture is between 400-500 meters a.s.l. up to 800 meters a.s.l. with Pinot Noir in the Contrada Calata delle Brecce.
SOILS
The variety of the eruptive material deposited along the slopes of the Vulture and its different compositions are the tangible demonstration of the diversity of the various soils and crops in the entire area of the Vulture.
GRAPES
The Vulture can be considered from the wine-growing point of view "the place of wonders", one of the few areas in the world where it is possible to cultivate every variety of vines. It is sufficient to vary exposure and altitude, Aglianico is cultivated at altitudes ranging from 300 to 500 meters a.s.l., white grapes between 500 and 650 meters a.s.l. to reach extreme altitudes up to 800 meters a.s.l. where it is possible to breed Pinot Noir with excellent results.
For many years, Cantine Terra dei Re has relied on the experience and expertise of winemaker Riccardo Cotarella.
