ABOUT THIS WINE
Teodosio 2020 is a 100% Aglianico from the Aglianico del Vulture DOC in Basilicata, Italy. The wine's name, Teodosio, is derived from the Greek word for 'little king,' a title historically given to the governor of Basilicata during Byzantine rule. This connection highlights the wine's regional heritage. Basilisco Societa Agricola Srl, founded in 1990 and now owned by Feudi di San Gregorio, focuses on revitalizing local winemaking traditions. The vineyards are situated at 500 meters on volcanic soils, a key factor contributing to the wine's distinctive character. The 2020 vintage is characterized by its dark appearance and intense aromas, with fruit notes enhanced by volcanic sensations, resulting in a sharp and chiseled mouthfeel.

The winery employs certified organic farming practices.
