D’Angelo and Aglianico del Vulture,
a century-long love story

“No wine can be a great wine without its local culture.” We cannot think of better words to describe our approach: tradition, authentic winemaking culture and unique vineyards, all handed down the D’Angelo family for several generations. Wine is about emotions, tradition, culture, love and passion. For almost a century now, the D’Angelo family has been widely recognised as a pillar of Basilicata’s wine tradition. Although the company was formally set up in the 1930s, its wines were first exhibited at the 4th edition of the Bari Trade Fair (1924). A journey into the world of winemaking that spans over four generations of the D’Angelo family, all the way to Erminia and Rocco, the current owners. The family history goes hand in hand with the success of Aglianico del Vulture, which, aside from becoming a symbol of Basilicata, is increasingly being appreciated and enjoyed in the entire country. Between 1924 and 1950, the company specialized mostly in the sale of wine in bulk and grapes, however, in this period, it also introduced its very first wine under the “Casa Vinicola D’Angelo” name. A few years later, the company changed its core business to become a fully-dedicated wine producer, making only bottled products under its own brand by 1950.
