About Vigneti del Vulture

Vigneti del Vulture sits on the eastern slopes of Monte Vulture, the extinct volcano whose volcanic tuff soils define the Aglianico del Vulture DOC. The estate is the Basilicata arm of Farnese Vini, the Abruzzo-based group that built much of its UK distribution around volume Aglianico from the Vulture zone and Montepulciano from its Pescaresi home territory.

Monte Vulture rises above the borgo of Rionero in Vulture and reaches just over thirteen hundred metres. Vineyards work the lower volcanic slopes between three hundred and six hundred metres, where the cool elevation and ash-rich subsoils slow ripening enough to give Aglianico the late-harvest tension the variety needs. This is the historic centre of southern Italian volcanic red production; the Vulture trio of Aglianico del Vulture DOC, Aglianico del Vulture Superiore DOCG, and the Basilicata IGT umbrella all draw from these slopes.

The Canio range sits in the accessible tier of the Farnese portfolio. Canio Aglianico del Vulture DOC is the flagship: ripe black fruit, firm tannin, the smoke-and-iron note typical of well-handled Vulture Aglianico. Canio Bianco is the entry-tier Basilicata IGT white, vinified from a blend of regional varieties for a fresh, accessible profile that opens the price-point for casual pairing. Both are produced at scale to support Farnese's broad UK supermarket and restaurant placement.

Vigneti del Vulture is a production estate under Farnese Vini ownership; there is no published public hospitality programme on the Basilicata site. Trade and visit enquiries flow through Farnese Vini's central commercial team in Abruzzo.
