Aglianico

In the ancient cellar of the Paternoster family in Melfi, Basilicata, Francesco Bagnale and Alessandro Bocchetti make small quantities of wine from the ungrafted vines of the local grapes of Vulture. Francesco is the president of AIAS Melfi-Matera, an association of families of people with disabilities and, along with Alessandro, decided to create a farm dedicated to inclusion. They focus on the work of young people with underdeveloped motor and cognitive skills - Arteteke in the local dialect is a word for the restlessness of children who cannot sit still. The grapes from this collaborative farm go to make a variety of bottlings from Arteteke, mostly from Aglianico. On the label of these wines is the Bramea, a rare butterfly that lives only on the Vulture and is the last of its kind in Europe: an ever-present reminder to alway keep moving forward.
A lively and refreshing sparkling rosato made using the metodo ancestrale (Pet-Nat), featuring natural effervescence and bright fruit flavors.

Note: this wine is unclarified and unfiltered, meaning you'll see some of the natural yeasts in the bottle. Lightly turn the bottle upside down to gently mix the sediment before serving.

Arteteke

Arteteke was founded in 2013 on the slopes of Monte Vulture, in Basilicata, as a social cooperative with a clear mission: to create work and dignity for people from fragile backgrounds through agriculture and wine. Over time, Giulio Bagnale, the owner, turned this training project into a real winemaking venture—small, local, and deeply human.
They farm just a few hectares of Aglianico, on volcanic soils at around 500 meters above sea level. Everything is done by hand, with organic practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar. Fermentations are spontaneous, the wines are unfiltered, and sulfites are used only when strictly necessary.
The name “Arteteke” comes from a dialect word meaning a sort of nervous energy or restlessness—something that moves, resists stillness. It suits both the land and the spirit behind the project.
