You cannot talk about the Basilicata del Vino without mentioning paternoster. The names of Don Anselmo and Giuseppe Paternoster wrote some of the most interesting pages of Italian oenology, dedicating them to the Angaglianico del Vulture. In their commitment, the fact that this grape has finally come out of the open and is imposed on the attention of the general public, clearing off a role of a mere reinforcement of the wines of the North that was frankly, very close. Although from 2016 the Tommasi Family Estates has acquired the majority of the property, the paternosters continue to be closely associated with these wines and these lands, continuing to lead and to supervise its production. The company has twenty hectares of land, scattered in various areas of the municipality of Barile, and two cellars. The first, located inside the Podere Villa Rotonda, is used until the malolactic fermentation is used, the other, located in the historic center of the country, is used for subsequent aging phases. Needless to emphasize that all wines have a particular grace and territoriality, which remains constant year after year. What has impressed us, even this time, is the magic of a great Aglianico del Vulture, Don Anselmo, a wine whose absolute quality is under the eyes of all.
