Rionero in Vulture
Cantine del Notaio
Aglianico, planted in volcanic tufo and aged in cave cellars carved around 1600, deserves a producer wholly devoted to it.
Founded in 1998 by Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti and Marcella Libutti, Cantine del Notaio farms 40 hectares of Aglianico, Moscato and Malvasia across five Mount Vulture villages. The flagship Aglianico del Vulture La Firma ages in French oak in grottoes carved from volcanic tufo around 1600. Luigi Moio has shaped every release as consulting winemaker.
