The best wineries in Venosa.
Terre degli Svevi is a young winery recently established, was founded in 1998 when GIV takes it over from a noble family that owned lands and buildings in Venosa.
The Vulture is an area particularly suited to the production of great wines, in particular Aglianico, that is a vigorous wine and has nothing to envy to the structure, body and complexity to the famed Italian Amarone or Barolo.
Aglianico is the most prevalent grape variety in Basilicata, but also in the province of Avellino in the Campania region, where it is also known by the name of Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, Ellanico and Uva Nera.
Its origins are very ancient and it seems it was already cultivated in Roman times.
Thus, for Terre degli Svevi the design of a winery focused on producing high quality Aglianico del Vulture begins, a real niche in the market both in Italy and abroad. It starts almost immediately replanting 120 hectares of vineyards to produce Re Manfredi Aglianico, the company’s flagship and immediately joined by an Aglianico of the Serpara Vineyard.
Re Manfredi, historical character of the region, was the son of Frederick II of Swabia, on the death of his father became regent of Southern Italy, in 1258.
He was excommunicated by Pope Innocent IV, who was facing its political independence, and elected King of Sicily in Palermo. He reigned until 1266, when he died at the battle of Benevento.
Dante speaks of him in the Divine Comedy.
Re Manfredi Aglianico has been awarded with the "3 Bicchieri" by Gambero Rosso and "5 Grappoli" by AIS, together with Serpara.
Then several gold medals in international competitions such as Mundus Vini, Expo Vina, the global contest of Bordeaux, have come.
A few years after the establishment of Terre degli Svevi a White wine of great success has been added: Re Manfredi Bianco, created from allogeneic vines (Muller Turgau and Traminer).

The facilities available are at the forefront, but technique, love and care are the traditional ones: a careful management of members in harvesting operations, selection of the best grapes, attention in the early stages of maceration and fermentation, meticolousness in the early stages of aging, in which Aglianico is transferred into French oak barrels and casks to get the superior quality for which it excels. Aglianico was introduced in Italy by the Greeks at the time of the foundation of Cumae or so later, while the transformation of the Hellenic name in Hellanica and then in Aglianico can be traced back to the late fifteenth century, at the time domain of Aragon in the Kingdom of Naples. Refinement and delicacy both in taste and in the aroma that characterizes grapes, which can capture the variety grown in hilly areas of the Vulture area, requirements that recognized the Aglianico del Vulture of the Designation of Controlled Origin.

The vineyards of the company, divided into different zones, cover eighteen hectares.
