Vitis in Vulture “Foragine” Rosso Basilicata IGT 2019 – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Vitis in Vulture Tying a wine to its vineyard of origin is fundamental to best express the territory that produces it. And this is what happens with Vitis in Vulture’s Basilicata Rosso IGT Foragine. We are located in the municipality of Lavello, in the Monte Vulture area. This Rosso Basilicata IGT is made from 70% Merlot and 30% native red grapes. Grapes grown at about 350 metres above sea level, on a medium-textured soil rich in iron and calcium. Harvesting takes place in two phases: the Merlot is picked in the first ten days of September, while the indigenous grapes are harvested approximately one month later. After destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place in contact with the skins for about 15 days in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the wine matures for at least 3 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, followed by 6 months in the bottle. Intense red colour with violet hues, the nose reveals a complex and enveloping bouquet, with notes of red berry fruit. In the mouth it is velvety, with a balanced tannic structure and pleasant spicy hints. It goes well with first courses with game-based sauces, medium-aged cheeses and red meats.
