Production Notes
The grapes were chilled on arrival at the winery, gently crushed and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 10°C. All handling of the juice was carried out in an oxygen free environment in order to preserve the wine's fresh aromas. The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks on its lees.
Producer Information
Producer Information
In 2008, Valentino Sciotti (of the Fantini group) took over this small Acerenza cooperative in the heart of the Aglianico del Vulture zone. Consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini works with the talented Danilo Gizzi to capture the character of the grapes and area in the finished Vigneti del Vulture wines.
According to Alberto, arriving in this beautiful, isolated, uncontaminated region is like stepping back a few centuries in time. It is one of Italy’s least explored areas, but it produces exciting wines. The low-trained vineyards are planted on the volcanic slopes of Mount Vulture at elevations of up to 800 metres above sea level.
The ‘Pipoli’ white is made from a blend of Greco and Fiano. It has a wonderful aromatic intensity with great depth on the palate, illustrating how good these native white varieties are.
