Description
Basilisco was born on the slopes of the Vulture volcano. Its 25 hectares are organically farmed, and the soil, of volcanic origin, is tufaceous with flysch stratification. The colour is a deep ruby red with violet hues. The nose has notes of red fruits and flowers, while the taste is balanced, full-bodied and with good persistence. The combination is recommended with red meat.

In 2011, Feudi di San Gregorio, the leading winery in the South of Italy and present in the Vulture region for over 10 years, decided to start a project reclaiming its ancient tuff stone caves in the “Shesh”, the historic Park of the Barile cellars, relaunching with conviction the bet made on this area of exceptional viticultural value, culminating in the acquisition of the nearby Basilisco.
With its splendid tufa cellars and vineyards in the area's most suitable districts, Basilisco completed this project. The result is a space of enchanting beauty in the historic heart of Aglianico del Vulture.
The face and soul of Basilisco is Viviana Malafarina, who runs the company and is personally and passionately involved in the winery operations, under the expert guidance of Pierpaolo Sirch, who is also responsible for vineyard management.
