This wine is obtained from the grapes of the younger company vineyards. After the maceration process it is aged in steel tanks for about 12 months, after 4 months of aging in bottle it is marketed.

The Maschitano Rosso fully represents the main grape of Vulture.

The nose is rich and powerful with notes of red fruit, blueberries, lavender, violet and licorice.

On the palate it is very rich, structured and sapid, rightly tannic and exuberant from a young age.
