LeLuSi

Estate story

Lelusi Viticoltori is a young family-run winery located in Barile, in the heart of Basilicata, at the foothills of Mount Vulture, an ancient extinct volcano that defines the identity of this extraordinary winegrowing area.

The name “LeLusi” comes from the first letters of the owners’ names—Letizi, Luca, and Simona—and reflects the personal, family-driven spirit of the estate.

The vineyards are rooted in fertile volcanic soils, naturally rich in minerals and characterized by excellent drainage.

These unique conditions, combined with the presence of mineral water springs and a cooler mountain climate, create an ideal environment for the cultivation of Aglianico, one of Southern Italy’s most noble and expressive grape varieties.

Situated at an altitude of approximately 500 meters above sea level, the vineyards enjoy a south-western exposure that ensures long, balanced ripening cycles.

This combination of elevation, volcanic soils, and sunlight enhances aromatic depth, structure, and longevity in the wines.
