Tenuta i Gelsi

Tenuta i Gelsi was founded in 2003 to enhance the family heritage and the lands of Basilicata on which the Aglianico vines grow. The name of the winery derives from the centuries-old “Mulberry” trees that line the driveway to the estate, planted for the harvest of fruits but especially the leaves used to feed the silkworm raised in the sixties on the same estate. The company mainly produces Aglianico del Volture but also Malvasia. Soft pressing of the
Whole bunches, static decantation of the must, fermentation at controlled temperature with selected yeasts then refined and resting on noble lees for at least 4 months periodically reassembled in steel

I tasted the cinque cerri, a classic method produced by Cantina I Gelsi following a collaboration started with them. I was blown away! On the palate it was incredibly delicate. With a straw yellow color and fine bubbles with a fresh finish.
