Il Sigillo, which translates to “the seal”, opens with huge intensity and balance, which sets this expression of Aglianico apart from the rest. Il Sigillo is a DOC wine obtained from Aglianico del Vulture grapes from a single historic vineyard, located on Contrada Cerentino hillside in the village of Maschito.
It is a modern style interpretation of Aglianico as produced in this area in the past. The grapes are harvested fully over ripened towards the ending of November and a long maceration lasting about a month.

THE MAKER: CANTINE DEL NOTAIO
The passion for winemaking is not new to the Giuratrabocchetti's family and has been handed down for generations.
In 1998 the Cantine del Notaio wine estate was born from this same tradition, when both Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti, with his degree in Agricultural Science, and his wife Marcella, took up the Aglianico del Vulture challenge.
They decided to combine tradition, innovation, history and terroir in the vines growing in their vineyards.
