The best wineries in Matera.
The dedication and love for the land, for tradition, for the cultivation of vines and for wine culture that has enabled, in the heart of Magna Graecia, the Fontanarosa Vini company to arise.
It is located in Scanzano Jonico, a charming resort on the Ionian coast of the Lucania area, where an old farmhouse was converted into a house–winery.
The company boasts of being the first in the Metaponto area to have a complete production cycle that goes from the cultivation of grapes to the bottling of wine. This helps to ensure quality control over all phases of the manufacturing process, with the opportunity for the customer, always at the center of the attention, to visit the winery and realize how Fontanarosa wines are the result of both the respect of the traditional workmanship rules and of the most modern winemaking techniques.
The fining of wine is made in small French oak barrels for at least 6 months.
The vineyards were planted in the 70s; the method of planting has proved to be ideal for the climate of the area, characterized by long periods of drought and very high summer temperatures.
The first wine cellar operated by the Dragone family was run by Antonio Dragone in the 19th century. The wine cellar was next to the Domenican Convent, in the historic heart of the city of Matera. Around the year 1920, Michele Dragone founded the famous cellar in Via S. Biagio, which at the time was the heart of agricultural society in Matera. The Dragone family first put its label on a bottle of wine in 1955. Over the course of the years, wine production was shifted to the Tenuta di Pietrapenta, which is about 12 kilometers from the city. Today, the Dragone Winery produces about 10,000 hectoliters of wine a year, only from vineyards owned by the winery itself, and including a number of typical Lucanian varieties.
The main products are fruit, wines, olives, cereals and also the silviculture is important. The farm has a strong propensity to the cultivation of peach and grape-vine. These products have market outlets at local, national and international level.
The farm follows an integrated agriculture and a good agricultural practice in full obedience of the agricultural ecosystem which – together with the technical competences, degree in agrarian sciences with specialization in oenology and with the exceptional pedoclimatic conditions of the Ionic- coast, one of the most beautiful place in Europe- produces products with marked organoleptic features, fruit of the strong shining sun and of the mildness of our winter.
We, of Tenute Mantegna Srl, come from the land, from passion, from love for a territory, which took us over the years, in Irsina (Mt), to start our business made up of fields, hard work, passion and love for the grapes. The decision to work the land was hard and at the same time important, after several years of hard work we are happy to see that the fruits of our effort are welcomed and appreciated by the palates of our customers.
Today Tenute Mantegna is an established brand in the wine sector, a brand synonymous with quality wine, seriousness and service of the company as a guarantee to the consumer. Our mission is to transfer the aromas and flavors that distinguish our wines and our land to all those lovers of real good wine.
The Consortium for the Protection of the Matera DOC Wines was formed as a result of the ministerial recognition, received in July 2005, of the DOC for the wines produced in the Province of Matera which include Matera, the municipalities of the Matera Hills and the territory of the Ionian coast of Metaponto.
The techniques used today by the companies of the Consortium are among the best in the agricultural sector, practices aimed to preserve and enhance the soil characteristics and the organoleptic properties of their products, in full respect of sustainability.
Mantegna Vini is a company born from the idea of an entrepreneur from Lucania, successful in the industrial sector of the Emilia Romagna region, who decided in 2000 to exploit a family plot of land on the most important hill of the town with a vineyard of Aglianico grapes. In the following years, Domenico Amenta, given the results of his good wine produced, realized immediately that in these hills of the town of Irsina called Serra di Gianni and Serra dei Monaci there were all the characteristics to make good wine.
He, then, decided between 2001 and 2002 to buy, near his vineyard, an old farmhouse to be restored and a few hectares of land to plant more vines of the same variety.
In 2004 his first production started, with good results in spite of the young vineyard.
In 2005, in collaboration with his son Davide Amenta, almost 150,000 bottles of Aglianico red and Aglianico white were vinified from red grapes and grapes from the hills of Matera Greco, Montepulciano, Trebbiano and Malvasia.
In 2008 the renowned oenologist from Avellino Angelo Antonio Valentino joined the company.
