The Open Cellars of Sant'Angelo Le Fratte offer a unique experience in the heart of Basilicata, where history, wine and food culture, and art converge in a fascinating journey through the village's narrow streets. This splendid town, known as 'the village of cellars', invites visitors to explore suggestive underground cellars carved into the Carpineto mountain, transformed into elegant tasting spaces where you can savour the finest Aglianico wines, cheeses, cured meats, and authentic Lucanian dishes. From August 12-14, 2026, the historic centre comes alive with colours, flavours, and sounds: street performers showcase their talents in the winding alleys while live music accompanies visitors from one cellar to another. Colourful murals and distinctive sculptures scattered throughout the village create evocative settings perfect for capturing every moment of this extraordinary gastronomic celebration. An unmissable opportunity for those wishing to discover Basilicata's hidden treasures: from local specialities like cavatelli al sugo di 'pezzente' to prestigious wines, from craft exhibitions to the natural beauty surrounding the town. A sensory journey that combines tradition, quality, and that special magic only southern Italian villages can offer.
