Cantine Viola is a winery where you can taste indigenous wines surrounded by the authentic and genuine atmosphere of the Pollino Park and embark on a unique wine and food journey.
The history of the company began in 1999 when Luigi Viola, a nature and agriculture enthusiast, decided to market and make known to the general public the Moscato di Saracena, a raisin wine renowned since the 16th century, whose cultivation and memory risked disappearing forever. The passion of Luigi and his family made it possible to avert not only the extinction of this refined meditation wine, but also the loss of the special vinification procedure that makes it unique among the worldʼs dessert wines.
All the wines produced on the farm are the fruit of a laborious and passionate commitment that begins in the vineyard and continues in the cellar, following a centuries-long tradition.
Production derives exclusively from indigenous vines, in particular the Moscato Passito di Saracena, unique for its vinification method and because it is only produced in Saracena, so much so that it is counted among the best sweet wines in the world for its organoleptic qualities. One of the few wines to be a 'Slow Food' Presidium.
