2022 Vigneti Del Vulture Sensuale Moscato, Basilicata

Vigneti del Vulture Sensuale Moscato is a joyful, aromatic expression of southern Italy that captures the warmth, volcanic energy and generosity of Basilicata. The vineyards sit on the slopes of Monte Vulture, an extinct volcano whose mineral rich soils are packed with ash, basalt and lava stone. This dramatic terroir gives Moscato both lift and character, balancing its natural perfume with freshness and a subtle mineral edge.

Vigneti del Vulture works with a clear focus on regional identity, showcasing varieties that thrive in Basilicata’s unique landscape. Moscato loves these conditions. Warm days encourage expressive aromatics, while altitude and cooling breezes preserve acidity and keep the wine lively and refreshing. Sensuale is made to highlight Moscato’s charm and immediacy, but without tipping into excess sweetness or simplicity.

In the glass, the wine is highly aromatic and instantly inviting. Orange blossom, jasmine and honeysuckle leap out, followed by ripe peach, apricot and grape skin. There is a gentle citrus note underneath that keeps the perfume bright rather than heavy, with a faint mineral hint reminding you this comes from volcanic ground.

On the palate, Sensuale Moscato is soft, lightly sweet and beautifully balanced. Stone fruit and floral flavours glide across the palate, supported by fresh acidity that stops the wine from feeling cloying. The texture is smooth and easy, with a clean, refreshing finish that makes it dangerously drinkable. Whether gently sparkling or still depending on the bottling, the emphasis is always on freshness and pleasure.

This is a wine made for relaxed moments and sunshine. It pairs beautifully with fruit based desserts, pastries, almond cakes or fresh berries, but it is just as enjoyable on its own as a chilled aperitif. Drink it young to capture its vibrant aromatics and playful energy.

Vigneti del Vulture Sensuale Moscato is bright, expressive and irresistibly charming. A little taste of southern Italy that brings volcanic soils, Mediterranean warmth and pure Moscato joy together in the glass.
