About Aperi'Mballa

Aperi'Mballa is the original aperitif that in Spinete, a village in the Matese area of the province of Campobasso, is enjoyed sitting on hay bales, amidst the countryside. Platters of cured meats and cheeses, local specialties, and a rustic atmosphere for a summer event that has become a local classic, now in its ninth edition.

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.
