Ianghé is a blend of traditional Vulture grapes: Malvasia del Vulture and Moscato di Rapolla, sourced from approximately 25-year-old vines planted in the volcanic area's characteristic siliceous soil. Arteteke vinifies the two varieties separately to preserve their specific varietal characteristics, allowing spontaneous fermentations in cement vats that respect the terroir's authenticity. The final blend creates a wine that expresses the complexity of Lucanian volcanic terroir, where the soil's minerality blends with the aromatics of Moscato and the structure of Malvasia. The company's philosophy of non-technological intervention allows the native grapes to freely express the age-old character of Vulture viticulture.
