Basilisco

Among the most fascinating wineries in the Lucanian wine scene, Basilisco develops inside the ancient lava caves of the "Shesh", the historic Cantine di Barile Park, which the Feudi di San Gregorio company wanted to re-enhance through a courageous project recovery. A place so suggestive and scenographic that it was chosen by Pasolini to set “The Gospel According to Matthew”. The vineyards located on the slopes of the Vulture, all organically run, are affected by the influence of the now extinct volcano that marks the characteristics of a terroir, characterized by a soil of volcanic origin that is enriched with layers of tuff and flysch. The vinification processes take place on the north side of the cave at an ideal temperature of 16-18 ° C, at the end of which the wine is left to rest in the silent meanders of the volcano.
