Cellars Inhabitant

Where: Francavilla in Sinni (PZ), Basilicata

Cantine Abitante is a young, family-run winery in Francavilla in Sinni, a small town in the province of Potenza, within the Pollino National Park in Basilicata. The company was founded in 2012 by two young partners, Giovanna Ciminelli and Filippo Abitante.

Their wines are made from varietals such as Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Ciliegiolo, Nero di Troia, Primitivo, Malvasia, and Chardonnay. In the cellar, they use state-of-the-art machinery, paying careful attention to the environment and the integrity of the wine. Today, Abitante wines are sold in various locations in Italy and abroad.

Three lines of wines

• Classic Line: Il Moro (red), Il Sordo (rosé), Donna Stella (white)
• Elite Line: EB Red, EB Rosé, EB White
• Premium Line: L'Emigrante, a pure Nero di Troia, and the white L'Incanto

"Wine is like an emigrant," they write in their catalog: it carries with it the history of its homeland. Cantine Abitante wines can be purchased here on MangiamoItaliano. We ship throughout Italy, with free shipping on orders over €79.
