- Company Name : Giannattasio
- About Us : The Giannattasio family comes from Barile, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata. They have produced wine from their vineyards on the slopes of the spent volcano Mount Vulture for generations. A treasured heirloom is the above map of the family property, created by the local agrimensore, or land-surveyor, in 1872. The map lists, in detail, the production of Aglianico grapes and olives for that year. For millennia, the Barile area has been renoGiannattasiod for the production of Aglianico, one of the finest autoctonous grape varieties in Italy. The poet Horace, a native of this area, wrote in eager anticipation of the Aglianico harvest: Shortly variegated autumn will tinge for thee the livid clusters with a purple hue. The fruits of the Giannattasio vineyards have always been enjoyed by the family and their friends. Since 2000, the Giannattasio family has produced a limited quantity of fine wines for a discerning Italian and international clientle. The Estate The vineyards cover 10 hectares of volcanic soil at an elevation of 450 metres above sea level. The vineyards are characterised by the high density of the vines-up to 9, 000 vines per hectare. This results in a spontaneous low yield of an exceptionally high quality. The work in the vineyard is organic, almost exclusively manual, and employs the most modern techniques. The harvest takes place late in the year-at the end of October or beginning of November. The grapes are selected with great care and harvested by hand, using only small crates in order to protect each grape.
