However, it was his charismatic son, Pino, who would shape the future of the winery.
He may have been the first studied enologist in Basilicata and wasted no time bringing innovations, like wood aging.
As a brilliant advocate of the region, he also brought recognition to Aglianico del Vulture at the first Vinitaly and onward. In turn, he was an avid writer and correspondent for wine publications and lobbied for the creation of the Aglianico DOC in the 1970s.
His legacy lives on in Paternoster's wines which continue to express an artisan spirit that respects tradition in its highest form to shape the future of these premium wines.
Since entering as a majority stakeholder in 2016, our family has, and will continue to maintain the spirit and legacy of the brand. We bring our commercial savvy to consolidate the distribution and recognition of Paternoster wines.
