There is no doubt that great wines begin with love, and some good fortune from nature. It is obvious that Elisabetta Musto Carmelitano has the first in abundance, she also has the benefit of the wonderful terrior that nature has set in Basilicata.
But we know it takes a lot more than that to make a great wine. And even more to make many great wines as Elisabetta has done so well.
We've loved her Aglianico Vino Rosso and Aglianico del Vulture Serra del Prete.
In the vineyard Elisabetta works shoulder to shoulder making sure the vines are just right.
“Musto Carmelitano is a family winery run by Miss Elisabetta Musto Carmelitano, a passionate and reliable entrepreneur. With the help of all her family she has been able to invest in the quality of their wine.” Winery
“Since 2007, thanks to Fortunato Sebastiano, the accomplished oenologist and organic viticulture expert, it has been possible to obtain high-class wines, mixing tradition and a more distinctive, terroir based, wine conception.” Winery
In the winery
"Up until 2007 the Musto Carmelitano family were selling their fruit to the local cooperative. Enter the next generation, Francesco’s children Elisabetta & Luigi, and the first consideration was to go organic. But as Elisabetta explained, with that change came a reduction in crop quantity; not enough for the coop so they had to bottle it instead! Thank goodness they did!" David Berry Green, Italian Buyer.
