Perciavutti

Percia ('Buca') Vutti ('botte') evokes the ancient ritual of tapping the barrels that took place in the so-called 'Vuttari' (places where the barrels with wine were kept) between friends and relatives who reciprocally exchanged the pleasure of tasting the goodness of the new wine. The 'Comunalia' Association, the Municipal Administration and the Pollino National Park have taken up and enriched this tradition and made it a major event that now crosses regional borders. In the four neighbourhoods, into which the town is symbolically divided, 'Vuttari' are set up, where many traditional Mormano dishes are offered to all visitors. "Perciavutti' is now in its 17th edition and is undoubtedly the most important and characteristic winter event in southern Italy.
