The vineyards, all registered in the "Doc Costa d'Amalfi" whose harvest is still done by hand, are cultivated in pergola on ridge terraces, suspended over the sea at over 400 meters high; they are made up of more than one hundred-year-old native vines on a clear foot , such as Tintore, (a vine with intensely colored berries that lives only in Tramonti), Piedirosso also known as "Per e Palummo" and Sciascinoso. These vines, in full harmony with the environment and territory, guarantee typicality and aromatic complexity to the red Tramonti Basileo.
The soils are clayey in nature, rich in pyroclastic material (volcanic ash and lapilli) from the eruptions of the Campi Flegrei and Somma-Vesuvius.
The production of Basileo wines consists of four lines so called: BASILEO, TERRAE MARIS, VIGNA DEGLI DEI and RISERVA, all made from rigorously selected grapes and quantified in the different percentages in reference to each line.
The construction of the building of the Azienda Agricola Basileo, seat of the old cellar (now used for catering and wine tasting), took place in the period from 1820 to 1880, when the keys to the property were delivered to the great-grandfather Lorenzo BASILEO, which gave birth to the homonymous winery.
The wine, initially in bulk and handcrafted, was transported with a horse-drawn cart and also marketed in nearby Neapolis by grandfather Antonio.
