Basilicata
Basilicata is one of the most authentic wine regions in southern Italy – rugged, wild, and full of character. At the heart of the region rises the extinct volcano Monte Vulture , whose mineral-rich soils produce exceptional terroirs. The leading grape variety, Aglianico , thrives here: as Aglianico del Vulture, it develops a powerful structure, dark fruit, and impressive depth, making it one of Italy's most exciting red wines.
Basilicata is a true region of discovery – off the beaten track of the major wine routes, but no less compelling. At Vinoscout, you'll find six select wines from this rare southern Italian region, priced between €7.80 and €30.99. Whether you're looking for an introduction to wine or a special treat, authentic southern Italian character awaits you here.

Basilicata – Red wines from the volcano and more
Basilicata is located in the heart of Southern Italy and is one of the quiet, lesser-known wine regions of the country. What makes it special: The extinct volcano Monte Vulture significantly shapes the heart of viticulture here. The volcanic soils and the surprisingly cool, mountainous climate for Southern Italy give the wines an independence that is not easily forgotten.
Aglianico del Vulture – the character of this region
The backbone of the assortment is the Aglianico del Vulture – a dark, tannin-rich red wine variety known for its depth, spicy note, and aging potential. If you appreciate powerful, serious red wines that bring substance, this is the right place for you. In addition to the red wines, you will also find a fresh Rosato and a white wine made from Greco and Fiano at Vinoscout – both classic Southern Italian varieties that produce light, aromatic wines.
What awaits you at Vinoscout
Our Basilicata assortment includes six wines between 7.80 and 30.99 EUR. With the Pipoli wines from Vigneti del Vulture, you can get started easily and affordably. Those who want to dive deeper into the region should reach for the Paternoster Don Anselmo – one of the most famous names in Aglianico del Vulture, now with DOCG status. In between, there are solid everyday wines with real character, such as the Bariliott and the Piano del Cerro. In short: Basilicata is worth it – for explorers as well as for lovers of powerful Southern Italian red wines.
