Although founded in 1930, and not bottling their own wines until after WWII, d'Angelo is somehow one of the oldest wineries in Basilicata, and their winemaker, Donato d'Angelo, is the region's go-to guy on Basilicata's specialty, the Aglianico grape. While known internationally for their barrique-aged Canneto, it's their Sacravite bottling that captures Aglianico's savory essence.
