Our history
The construction of the Basileo farm building, home to the old cellar (today used for catering and wine tasting), took place in the period from 1820 to 1880, the year in which the keys to the property were handed over to the great-grandfather Lorenzo BASILEO, which gave birth to the homonymous winery.
The wine, initially in bulk and produced by hand, was transported with a horse-drawn cart and also marketed in nearby Neapolis by grandfather Antonio.
Ancient vines of Tintore, Piedirosso and Sciascinoso, cultivated in pergolas on edge terraces, between the sea and the mountains, in one of the eight lands of the Amalfi Republic...
Maria BASILEO's farm has been producing wine of excellent quality and unique taste for generations, combining the history, culture, art and traditions of the Amalfi Coast.
The Amalfi Coast red wine
The vineyards, all enrolled in the "Doc Costa d'Amalfi" whose harvest is still done by hand, are cultivated with pergolas on edge terraces, suspended over the sea at an altitude of over 400 meters; they are made up of several centuries-old native vines on ungrafted such as the Tintore (vine with intensely colored berries that lives only in Tramonti), the Piedirosso also known as "Per e Palummo" and the Sciascinoso.These vines, in full harmony with the environment and territory, guarantee typicality and aromatic complexity to the red Tramonti Basil.
The soils are clayey in nature, rich in pyroclastic material (volcanic ash and lapilli) from the eruptions of Campi Flegrei and Somma - Vesuvius.
