Besilicata Wines

173.225.52.226

Having just got back from the Besilicata region of Italy for 2 weeks (nothing in the North, just Puglia, Besilicata, Calabria) ...
I have a new favorite wine: the Aglianico del Vulture, and nearly anything from it. Red wine, with a depth, strength and character that makes me thing we've found the "right" red wine for us.
I have a set of pictures of the bottles we drank - of note was the "Paternoster" and "Manfredi" but of the 1-2 bottles we had from different wineries every day, we didn't find a bad bottle. The worst one, simply was a little too tight, and needed about a decade to unwind some. Most were simply marvelous. The most surprsing was a roasside stand with some crown capped "local stuff" we drank and used to cook some local sausage with sauce & pasta. Magical stuff (though this wasn't complex in the least).
They look like they are a little hard to get here in the US ... so I am looking. Anyone discovered these little gems?
