DOC area for red wine in the Italian region of Basilicata. The zone includes the municipalities of Aderenza, Banzi, Barile, Forenza, Genzano di Lucania, Ginestra, Lavello, Maschito, Melfi, Palazzo San Gervasio, Rapolla, Rionero in Vulture, Ripacandida and Venosa in the province of Potenza. The vineyards cover around 1,500 hectares of vines and lie up to almost 700 metres above sea level on the slopes of the extinct volcano Monte Vulture, which has shaped the area with its special soil type that is ideal for viticulture. It is divided into around 1,000 small estates. Wine has been produced here since ancient times and was served at the tables of the nobility in the Middle Ages.
