Food and Wine Tour Basilicata

A journey to discover Mediterranean flavors, in order to know the huge wine and food heritage that Basilicata offers. Most of all, wine production has always been one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Region, once called Enotria, that “Wine land”. Lucanian wine production dates back as far as 1300 B.C., also becoming a unifying element of different cultures.

The wine of the Matera area, in particular, has managed to maintain, thanks to the consistently very high quality of the product, the Denomination of Controlled Origin (DOC) from 2005 until today. All the Lucanian wines are produced in the region, following a very strict specification regarding the techniques for grape cultivation and processing of must into wine in typical wooden barrels.

Highlights:

• Mansio Experience;
• Primitivo Experience;
• Viglione Experience.
