Basileo Vini Winery

Discovering Tramonti's Viticultural Heart

Perched at Via Trugnano 3 in Tramonti, a hidden gem 'intra montes' amid the Lattari Mountains, Basileo Vini embodies the rugged heroism of Amalfi Coast winemaking. This family-operated winery crafts Costa d'Amalfi Tramonti DOC reds from indigenous grapes like Tintore and Piedirosso, grown on steep, terraced slopes of volcanic soil. These ancient vines, some predating phylloxera, yield concentrated wines of profound character, capturing the essence of this UNESCO-protected valley.

Vineyard and Cellar Tours

Visitors begin with a stroll through sun-drenched vineyards, where gnarled vines cling to hillsides offering panoramic vistas toward Maiori's sea. The tour descends into cool stone cellars, revealing oak barrels aging reserves. Learn about low-yield farming, integrated pest management, and the transformation of local varietals into Terre Maris and premium cuvées. The experience highlights Tramonti's 13 frazioni and its role as the coast's breadbasket for pizza and fiordilatte cheese.

Tastings and Gastronomic Delights

Wine tastings feature three pours of robust reds paired with km-zero salumi, pecorino, and taralli. Upgrade to full meals for €30 per person: mixed antipasti, handmade pasta, grilled meats with seasonal vegetables, fruit, and digestifs. Groups enjoy discounts, making it ideal for immersive enogastronomic days. Fresh mountain air and herbal notes from Lattari pastures enhance every sip.
