Grifalco is one of Basilicata’s top names for Aglianico, championing this noble southern grape with a focus on organic farming and traditional winemaking. Their namesake bottling, sourced from high-altitude vineyards on the slopes of Mount Vulture, is a pure expression of the region’s volcanic terroir. The 2021 vintage shows Aglianico’s signature intensity—bold and structured, but with enough finesse to highlight the grape’s more elegant side.

Black cherry and plum are at the core, wrapped in layers of tobacco, leather, and smoky earth. The tannins are firm yet polished, giving the wine both grip and aging potential, while a streak of bright acidity keeps it vibrant. Decant now for a more supple experience, or tuck it away for a few years to let its complexity unfold. A perfect match for rich, slow-cooked dishes like osso buco, grilled lamb, or aged cheeses.

"Crushed red plums, blood orange, and sweet spice create an alluring bouquet as the 2021 Aglianico del Vulture Grifalco lifts from the glass. This is soft tectured with a saline tinged core of wild berry fruits. Violet inner florals amass toward the close. The 2021 Finnishes with medium length and perfumed, grippy tannins as sour citrus nuances add freshness. I truly admire the energy and the classic lines inherent in this beautiful Vulture Aglianico." —Vinous

More about Grifalco

Basilicata's serious play on Aglianico, founded 2004 by Fabrizio and Cecilia Piccin (who left Tuscany for the south). Sixteen hectares at 400-500 meters, all organic. Four wines: Gricos (entry), Grifalco (flagship), plus DaMaschito and DaGinestra from old-vine parcels. Precision winemaking for a grape that deserves it.
