    Ep. 2404 Vitis in Vulture Winery in Basilicata | Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon (5StarWines - the Book 2025 Series)
    Jul 8 2025
    Welcome to episode 2404 of the Italian Wine Podcast and episode 199 of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon. Today Marc’s guest is Giuseppe Avigliano from Vitis in Vulture in Basilicata, winner of 5StarWine’s BEST ROSE' WINE 2025. More about today’s guest: Vitis in Vulture, with its 95 hectares of vineyards spread across the Vulture area, is one of the most important wine producers in the Basilicata region. Leading this enterprise is President Giuseppe Avigliano, an agronomist and agricultural entrepreneur with significant experience in the winemaking and agri-food sectors. The company’s goal is to create a unique connection throughout the production chain, starting from vineyard cultivation, passing through the various stages of vinification and aging in the cellar, and culminating in bottling and distribution in Italy and around the world. At the heart of the company is the innovative winery, designed by renowned Japanese architect Hikaru Mori—a modern and distinctive structure where activities, spaces, and visitors come together in a unified body that reflects the culture of wine and the Mediterranean. In front of the winery lies a large archaeological complex, dating from the 4th to the 7th century AD. On its western edge, one can still see housing pits for two phitoi—large containers lined with mortar, once used for fermenting high-quality wines.
