Descrizione

This Aglianico Vulture Superiore DOCG from Paternoster under the Barone Rotondo label expresses the grape with restraint and structure. On the nose it shows ripe red and dark fruit, light hints of underbrush and subtle spice notes that add complexity without excess. The profile is sober and distinctive, suited to those seeking a measured yet characterful red wine.

On the palate it offers a full body, with present but well-integrated tannins and a freshness that supports the drinking experience. The finish is clear and of good persistence, with fruit echoes and a mild earthy note. The intense ruby colour indicates concentration; the development in the glass is gradual and allows delicate floral touches to emerge. Pairs with red meat dishes, roasts, game and aged cheeses; also pairs well with traditional Lucanian recipes. To fully appreciate its aromas and structure a short decant is advisable; serve slightly cool for red wines, around 16–18 °C.

Winery history

A historic winery of the Vulture region, established by the Paternoster family and active for generations. Founded in 1925 in Barile, it has become a benchmark for the promotion of Aglianico del Vulture: it retains strong family continuity in its management and, since 2016, has been part of the Tommasi Family Estates group, which has supported restoration projects and the expansion of the estate’s hospitality.

Production philosophy

Artisanal, terroir-driven approach: each vineyard and parcel are tended and vinified separately to convey the character of the Vulture. Vineyard and cellar decisions are guided by respect for the fruit, the search for identity, and the aim to produce long-lived, distinctive wines.

Terroir and vineyards

Located on the slopes of Monte Vulture in Basilicata, the winery works with the volcanic soils typical of the Aglianico del Vulture appellation, at altitudes of 400–600 m or more and with pronounced diurnal temperature variation.

Awards and recognitions

The Don Anselmo cru has received wide recognition from the international press: among the awards and scores it has earned are high ratings from Wine Advocate, 93/100 from James Suckling, and Italian honors such as Gambero Rosso’s 3 Bicchieri.
