The presence of Pinot Noir in Basilicata has been noted since ancient times. Extraordinary terroir. The wealth of elements donated by the lava flows gives the wines a unique flavour. Our Pinot Noir is planted on volcanic rock a 800 meters of altitude where the climatic conditions make it unrepeatable. The grapes are the result of the "second harvest" of the Pinot Noir vineyard, after having harvested the grapes that we use for the vinification of the sparkling wine, we proceed with the collection of the bunches that we use to produce the Vulcano 800. They are ripe grapes with a higher sugar content , even the coloring intensity has more marked notes. After vinification we let the Vulcano 800 mature in barrique for about a year.

Mighty and powerful in all its manifestations, yet at the same time very soft, pulpy enveloping. The spices dress it in chlorophyllous and vanilla balm, without its rich endogenous aromatic component, its own pulpy fruit, being even partially overwhelmed by said expansion of aromas. No, here the sweetness of currants is combined with a creamy mentholated persuasion of spices, with a softness and an olfactory clarity of superior oenological class. Wine has always been the inspiration and source of great masterpieces. It is contemporary to see the surface of a glass bottle as an artistic support, which amplifies the value of the product thanks to its aesthetic message. The Divinus label, created in collaboration with the artist Cristina Vitan, aims to enhance the contrast between the power and the enveloping softness of the AGLIANICO del vulture. The exaltation of the female body is the central theme of the artist's works who, challenging the classic canons of art, transform the artistic language into a provocative visual show. In wine, as in art, we are struck by the chromatic intensity, the nuances, the luminosity, the way it rotates in the glass.
