Basilicata At a Glance
Region NameBasilicata
Basilicata, in southern Italy, is a region whose name crops up only very rarely in wine circles. It is best known for red wines from the Aglianico variety and, in particular, the Aglianico del Vulture appellation.
Score: 92Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe spicy and irresistible 2019 Bianco Sophia wafts up with notes of candied ginger, yellow flowers, iodine, crushed almonds and hints of raw honey. This is a soft-textured effort with a pleasant inner sweetness that balances ripe melon and citrus tones against bright acidity and mounting minerality that comes forward toward the close. It finishes long, tart and salty, literally buzzing with residual tension and begging you to take another sip. The Sophia Bianco is a Fiano that shows the potential of this variety on Vulture’s volcanic slopes. Very nice.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 85Vintage 2019Wine EnthusiastAromas of lemon curd, lemongrass and shortbread carry the nose of this Fiano. A slight spritz on the palate dissipates quickly to reveal flavors of lemon and pear that mingle with a savory yeast tone. Lifted acidity ensures a brisk, clean ending.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
