“Teodosio”: this wine is named after a famous emperor, a Basilieus; the coin of the Vth century with Teodosio’s effigy became the symbol of our winery. Basilisco is an historic winery comprising a network of Tuffo cellars cut into the sides of high ridges on the wild but picturesque slopes below Mount Vulture in Italy’s Basilicata. Now owned by Feudi di San Gregorio, Basilisco has come under the umbrella of one of the most important new producers in Southern Italy and is making world class wines at prices that do not nearly match the quality on offer.
Tasting Notes
Ruby-red coloured wine tending to violet-purple. Soft fruit aroma with a prevalence of plum and morello cherry. Well balanced, full in body and with a lingering finish.
