Small points of light shine through our story: the Pleiades, the seven sisters of Greek mythology, transformed into a constellation after being pursued by the gods. From this myth comes the name of a winery that looks to the sky to tell the story of the land.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Gioia al Negro is a winery shaped by a territory, not confined to a single place. Born in Lagonegro, our project reaches as far as the Vulture area, spanning the hills and coastlines of Basilicata: each area brings its own grape varieties, each partner their expertise, giving life to wines that authentically express the character of an entire region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From pure Aglianico to the blend with Cabernet in the Vulture area; from Primitivo and Chardonnay with Malvasia in the lands on the outskirts of Matera, to a Chardonnay infused with the scents of the Ionian Sea in Nova Siri, alongside red and ros\u00e9 Syrah.
