Aperi'Mballa
The aperitif on hay bales in Spinete
About Aperi'Mballa
Aperi'Mballa, the aperitif on haystacks
Aperi'Mballa is one of the most characteristic events of the summer in Spinete, a small village in the Matese area of the province of Campobasso. The name plays on dialect and tells it all: an aperitif on hay bales ("mballa"), enjoyed outdoors in the village countryside, in a rural and evocative setting.
Flavours of the territory
The stars of the evening are the platters of cured meats and cheeses and the specialties of local gastronomy, accompanied by wine and local products. The informal and convivial formula, immersed in nature, has won over a loyal audience over the years, making the event a classic of the Spinete summer, now in its ninth edition.
A Matese village
Spinete is a village that cherishes a strong connection with its rural traditions and the agricultural landscape of the Molise Matese. Aperi'Mballa was born precisely from the desire to enhance this territory, transforming haystacks into outdoor tables and offering participants an authentic experience of food, nature, and conviviality.
Aperi'Mballa — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of Aperi'Mballa, the ninth, is scheduled for July in the Spinete countryside. The formula remains the one that made the event famous: the aperitif enjoyed sitting on hay bales, with platters of cured meats and cheeses and local specialties. The exact date will be announced by the organizers closer to the event.
