Terra dei Re: Nestled Near Scenic Lakes

Located in the picturesque region of Basilicata, Terra dei Re Winery is situated in the heart of Aglianico del Vulture. Surrounded by lush hills and forests, this winery is just a short drive from the stunning Lakes Monticchio. The vineyards cover 31 hectares across Barile, Rapolla, Melfi, and Rionero, ideal for producing exceptional Aglianico del Vulture DOC wines, including Piano di Carro, Macarico, Colignelli, and Calata Delle Brecce. Most of the vines are around 40 years old, with a density of approximately 9,000 plants per hectare. In addition to Aglianico, the Leone brothers cultivate fruity Pinot Nero and Malvasia Bianca.

A Legacy of Winemaking

Terra dei Re Winery has a rich history, founded by Giuseppe Nigro, the grandfather of the current owners, the Leone brothers, in the mid-19th century. The winery faced challenges in the mid-20th century, leading to a temporary closure due to economic difficulties in the wine industry. However, the Leone brothers' mother held onto the hope that her sons would revive the family tradition. In 2000, they fulfilled that dream by reestablishing the Terra dei Re Winery.

Delight in Basilicata's Dessert Wines

The winery's modern cellar spans four hectares in the beautiful province of Rionero in Vulture, where traditional winemaking meets innovative technology. Terra dei Re produces high-quality red and white wines, along with sweet dessert and sparkling wines, all under the Basilicata DOCG, DOC, and IGP classifications. The aging process for these exquisite wines occurs in oak barrels and barriques, enhancing their rich flavors and aromas.

One of the most beautiful wineries in the Region. It fully embodies the spirit of the Lucanian winemaking tradition and winemaking vines. The property is the bearer of values of protection of the territory, of high quality products. To visit, to experience.

Beautiful cellar and excellent accompaniment in the choice of wine. Night harvest and Aglianico DOCG are recommended.

We called ahead and stopped in for a tasting an hour later - we had no idea that the tasting would be led by the winery owner! We sampled three Aglianico del Vulture wines: an IGT, and two DOCGs and we left with three cases! They were all delicious. Especially this middle DOCG named Noct because the grapes were picked at night to bring out additional aromas and flavors! We dropped a bit of cash here and enjoyed an hour or more with the owner who spoke almost perfect English! Only 4 stars because the food accompanying out pairing was only tarallini and after spending almost 400Euro on wine, they really could have waived the 20Euro tasting fee - or thrown in one of ten bottles that we opened for our tasting… Definitely 5 star wine! Stop and enjoy them!

It was early May when I visited this winery on the slopes of Monte Vulture. Modern winery that adopts sustainable agricultural practices. The owner made the visit very interesting with his explanations
