Operated by Farm Experiences & Tours · Nova Siri, Basilicata
Located on Italy’s Ionian coast in the scenic region of Basilicata, the Basilicata Wine Tasting Experience offers an intimate glimpse into a storied agricultural legacy that spans over five centuries. This family-owned winery, nestled near the town of Nova Siri, cultivates 100 hectares of verdant land—35 of which are dedicated to vineyards that produce some of the region’s finest Matera DOC wines. Blending traditional, centuries-old farming methods with forward-thinking sustainable practices, the estate provides guests with a rare chance to explore the heart of southern Italy’s winemaking heritage.
Visitors begin their journey with a guided tour through the estate’s expansive vineyards and surrounding orchards filled with olive groves and pepper plants. This walk-through is more than sightseeing; it’s a step back in time to understand how the rural agricultural traditions of Basilicata evolved alongside modern innovations. The winery proudly preserves one of the region’s most important rural archives within a rustic farmhouse—showcasing documents and agricultural artifacts that tell a vivid story of cultural exchange and farming history.
Throughout the tour, knowledgeable guides share insights into the sustainable and low-impact farming techniques that define the estate’s operations today. This commitment to environmental stewardship ensures that the soils and biodiversity remain vibrant, while producing wines that respect the natural character of the land. Guests learn the entire process of winemaking, from grape cultivation to harvest, pressing, fermentation, and aging—all conducted on-site.
The experience culminates with a tasting session featuring three signature Matera DOC wines. Each sip reveals the nuanced terroir of Basilicata, reflecting the mineral-rich soils and Mediterranean climate unique to this coastal pocket. The wines are perfectly paired with stories of the grapes’ journey and the family’s passion for preserving quality through every vintage.
Nova Siri, located about 50 minutes from Taranto, offers a charming base for travelers seeking authentic wine country adventures on Italy’s southern coastline.
