Home Restaurant Made In Slow Food Matera - Cook with us!

For me, hosting and home is a whole other thing from a simple restaurant that can be as hospitable as you want but will never be able to welcome you with the serene and informal conviviality of "my home". Here I relive the experiences lived in my grandparents' house before and my parents later. Perfumes from boiling pots, the same but always different voices and gestures of my mother and my aunt who repeat rituals that have unknowingly marked me. Over time I have accumulated a treasure trove of sensations and knowledge that intertwine between the countryside and the kitchen and from which I am indelibly marked. Today I find myself chasing cookbooks and recipes to reproduce in an attempt to relive that experience and I ask for your help in order to succeed. We will prepare various dishes of the Matera tradition together, depending on the period in which we meet, and then we will taste them in the convivial and "Slow" atmosphere that has always distinguished me.

This wine tasting experience in the heart of Matera tantalizes the senses with a flavor that is both rich in history and vibrant in the present. It's a fusion of tradition and modernity, where ancient winemaking techniques meet contemporary appreciation. But it's not just about the wines: it's about the entire sensory experience. The aroma of aging barrels mingles with the scent of freshly poured wines, creating an olfactory symphony that sets the stage for discovery. With each swirl, sniff, and sip, the flavors dance on the palate, revealing layers of complexity and depth. Paired with delicious bites that enhance and complement the wines, the tasting becomes a culinary journey through Matera's gastronomic heritage. And for those who choose to indulge in the optional olive oil tasting, another dimension of flavor is unlocked, adding a touch of Mediterranean magic to the experience!
