Basilicata is often considered to be [Italy's](/country/italy) most undeveloped region, suffering as it does with unemployment and youth migration away from towns and villages. Yet, Basilicata's wine region scene continues to earn international support for a single red wine, [Aglianico del Vulture](/appellation/aglianico-del-vulture-doc). Focussed around Monte Vulture, an extinct volcano in the Province of Potenza named after the crater's uncanny resemblance to a vulture's talon, the [Aglianico](/aglianico) variety has found its home in the volcanic sand and clay soils that characterise the area.
