Description

Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti took over his family’s estate from his grandfather in 1998.  He left his university professorship and along with his wife, Marcella, turned a new life corner. The name Cantine del Notaio comes from his zio (uncle) who is a long time prominent notary and community leader in the area. Together with enogogist Luigi Moio, who was a Professor of Enology at the University of Naples, they started a valuable collaboration and took on the Aglianico del Vulture challenge.

The winery’s focus is on the native red varietal, Aglianico, but also grows other grapes: Moscato Bianco di Basilicata, Malvasia Bianca di Basilicata as well as some experimental international varieties. Generally, the volcanic soil from the extinct vulture volcano is rich in mineral elements.

La Firma is a big wine with some small barrel aging, though we d consider the oak well integrated especially with age (~10yrs). Try with aged or ripe cheeses, fatty roasts or BBQ.
