Wine making in [Basilicata](/region/basilicata) dates back thousands of years, but in recent decades the region has been about one wine, [Aglianico del Vulture DOC](/appellation/aglianico-del-vulture-doc). Strict production rules mean that there is little room for experimentation and [Aglianico](/aglianico) is the only grape variety permitted. As such, the Basilicata IGP allows producers to try something different. White wines are the obvious angle with Moscato, Malvasia and [Chardonnay](/chardonnay) common ingredients. Additionally, the designation is used by the region's producers that fall outside of the small Vulture production zone. [Tenuta Marino](/producer/tenuta-marino) are perhaps the best example of this.
