Producer
Cantine del Notaio is a relatively new winery, located amidst the volcanic landscape of Mount Vulture. It was born in 1998 from the vision of Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti and his wife Marcella, who set out to restore the estate that once belonged to Gerardo’s grandfather. After years of research and experimentation with the Aglianico variety, they are achieving notable results with both red and white wines.
Vineyard
Situated at 450-600 metres above sea level, the vineyards are planted in the volcanic soil around the extinct volcano of Vulture. The vines range from four to sixty years old and are planted at five thousand plants per hectare. No green harvest is necessary as yields are naturally low; the grapes were hand-picked in the second half of August.
Winery
This was a traditional white wine vinification at controlled temperatures of around 18-20°C. The wine was bottled without oak ageing and remained in bottle for two months before release.
