The renowned Lucanian wine reality Cantine del Notaio presents the Aglianico del Vulture ‘Il Repertorio’, a bottle that aims to reveal the most accessible face of this black grape variety, while not skimping on breadth and depth. The official foundation of Cantine del Notaio dates back to 1998, when Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti decided to leave his profession as an agronomist to dedicate himself full-time to the family vineyards. From that moment on, the estate has established itself as one of the most important production realities in all of Basilicata, a region enhanced through a single great grape variety: the Aglianico del Vulture. It is also unique to name the bottles with notarial terms, a profession practiced by Gerardo's father.
