Basilicata

Basilicata is a place where silence, scents, flavors, and colors transport visitors away from the stresses of daily life, offering unique sensations. In the villages nestled in the woods and forests that blanket the mountains, the air is pure, the flavors are authentic, and the beauty of nature blends with historical elements to satisfy any desire for knowledge. Typical Lucanian cuisine is based entirely on local products. The undisputed star of the Lucanian table is handmade durum wheat pasta. The sauces are flavorful, and chili pepper, known as diavolicchio, is always present. Two typical bread-based dishes from Basilicata are panella and pancotto, recurring in Lucanian cuisine. Lamb, cazmarr, offal meatloaf, and cutturiddi, a type of stew, are also popular. Lamb's head, baked and seasoned with pecorino cheese and oregano, is also highly prized. Among the meats, Lucanina is famous, a lean pork sausage made without additives. Another strong point of Lucanian cuisine is its vegetables, which, along with chili pepper, create delicious dishes. Noteworthy dishes include the vegetable calzone, ciammotta, cialledda with broad beans, potatoes, and artichokes, and lampaggioni salad. Among the most important wines of Basilicata are Aglianico del Vulture, produced in the province of Potenza, and Grottino di Roccanova.
