Aglianico Tour and Tasting
Cellar tour through the historic tuff cantina followed by a tasting of three D'Angelo wines, hosted by the family.
Book this experienceAbout Casa Vinicola D’angelo
Casa Vinicola D'Angelo dates its first appearances at the Bari Trade Fair to 1924, with the company formally established in the 1930s. For its first quarter-century the family sold wine in bulk and supplied grapes to other producers, before pivoting in the 1950s to bottling exclusively under the Casa Vinicola D'Angelo label.
The decisive year was 1971. Aglianico del Vulture earned its DOC certification, and Rocco D'Angelo Senior was among the most active promoters of the appellation, helping to define the modern profile of Basilicata's signature red. In 1976 the estate sent its first cases to the United States and Germany, planting an export footprint that the family has held ever since.
The vineyards sit on the slopes of Monte Vulture, an extinct volcano whose tuff and clay-limestone soils give the wines their characteristic minerality and salinity. The cellars run on two levels: a 500 square metre historical underground cellar carved from tuff, and a 1,500 square metre production cantina across three floors for vinification, refinement, and ageing. Large 5,200 litre oak botti, smaller barrels, and concrete tanks provide the gentle micro-oxygenation that long-ageing Aglianico requires.
Today Erminia and Rocco D'Angelo represent the fourth generation at the helm, with Rocco managing production and the vineyards and Erminia leading sales alongside their mother Franca. Sixteen labels currently leave the cellar, headed by the flagship Aglianico del Vulture and joined by single-vineyard and parcel selections including Sacravite, Valle del Noce, Caselle, and Brigante Lucano.
Beyond Aglianico, the estate cultivates small parcels of Merlot, Primitivo, Malvasia, and Moscato, but the focus remains volcanic Aglianico in its many shades: from young, fragrant cuvees ready for the table to long-aged riservas built for the cellar. Visiting parties are received personally by Erminia, with tastings staged among the botti rather than in a formal hospitality suite.
