In Vino Veritas

Wine between the Abbey and the Rock Cellars

Few wine events can boast a setting like that of In Vino Veritas. In Montescaglioso, a village overlooking the Parco della Murgia Materana, the event takes place between the majestic Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo and the spectacular cave cellars dug into the rock downstream of Porta Sant'Angelo. A journey that combines wine culture with a historical and environmental heritage of rare charm.

A Multisensory Evening

For one evening, the underground cellars open to the public, hosting tastings and gastronomic specialities from the region. The star is a select range of wines, with the Consorzio Tutela Vini DOC Matera (Matera DOC Wine Protection Consortium) acting as ambassador for a territory that has gained increasing attention in the oenological landscape of Southern Italy in recent years. Music, culture, and the promotion of agri-food excellences complete an experience that engages all the senses.

Territory Promotion

Organized by the Pro Loco of Montescaglioso and the Municipal Administration, with the involvement of the Centre for Environmental Education and the Parco della Murgia Materana, the event is one of the most anticipated appointments for the enhancement of the territory. Over the years, In Vino Veritas has transformed into an event capable of combining tastings, music, and culture, attracting enthusiasts and curious visitors from all over the province of Matera.

Montescaglioso, a Step from Matera

Experiencing In Vino Veritas also means discovering Montescaglioso, its Benedictine abbey, and the Murgia landscape, just a few kilometres from the Sassi di Matera. An opportunity to toast Lucanian excellences in a place that tells centuries of history.
