A disciplinary rule for defending the history
A great cultural and historic heritage, as well as a high quality product, needs protection and preservation. With this aim there was the adoption of the disciplinary rule on the production of Matera DOC wines. This rule protects the area of production, wine production techniques and bottling, as well as the techniques for selling it to public. But firstly wine is the product of the grape. For this reason, within the disciplinary rule, it is paid attention to the selection of wine typologies and grapes varieties to be used during the production process (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Primitivo, and Sangiovese for the black berry grape.Malvasia Bianca of Basilicata and Greco bianco for the white berry grape.)
