Please Note: Excursion and/or wine tasting, need to be booked two days first.

We had a wonderful tour to the underground cellar of this winery and then enjoyed its rose wine and two best reds. The last red is the most impressive and perhaps delivers the profound character of Aglianico to me. This has added so much premium to our unforgettable journey to the south of Italy.

We had a brilliant time with Luca enjoying the wines he and his sister produce. His wine cellar is in the centre of Melfi which was a surprise to me as I assumed this would all be done out of town- I now know that wine ageing cellars are often found in the towns in Southern Italy. Luca gave us a very interesting talk/ discussion on wine production and importantly how the geology of the area impacts on the grapes and wine making process. He was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. His English was very good despite claiming otherwise! The wines produced by the Cantina are brilliant examples of Lucana/ Basilicata wine with great care taken and skill imparted. We thoroughly enjoyed the aglianicos that we tried and were very pleased to buy a couple of bottles to take home. I would highly recommend a visit - it will be enjoyed by all, irrespective of your existing knowledge.

For some reason Melfi doesn’t appear in many of the English language guide books and this is a serious oversight! Melfi was an incredibly important town in the medieval to early modern period- the first crusade was announced from the castle. The town is dotted with signs taking you through it’s history in bite sized chunks and the castle is the culmination of it all. The castle acts as the local archeological museum and contains a great deal of Roman and Greek artefacts - the highlight was a pair of the most incredible marble sarcophagi. One of these was on loan from Naples (associated with Matera 2019 Capital of Culture) but fortunately for future visitors it was the lesser of the two!
