The Basilicata region, located in the south of Italy, is a land of contrasts, known as much for its imposing mountains as for its fertile valleys. Though traditionally associated with viticulture rather than the production of spirits, Basilicata nevertheless harbours hidden treasures for distillation enthusiasts. Local producers use artisanal techniques, often passed down through generations, to create refined spirits from carefully selected fruits and grape pomace.
Thanks to its Mediterranean-influenced climate, the region enjoys a long maturation period allowing for a rich and complex aromatic development in its spirits. Among the local specialities are distinctive spirits crafted from pears, apples, plums, and other indigenous fruits, reflecting the natural diversity of the region. Each sip offers a gustatory journey to the heart of Basilicata, revealing delicate notes of ripe fruits, dried flowers, and sweet spices.
Basilicata is thus a must-visit for spirit enthusiasts eager to discover authentic Italian spirits, embodying a harmonious symbiosis between traditional craftsmanship and the region's natural richness.
