Episcopia

Episcopia, a municipality within Basilicata's Potenza province, is cradled directly by the rugged terrain of the Pollino National Park. This specific geographical position, characterized by diverse altitudes and unique microclimates, provides an ideal terroir for distinctive agricultural products. The land here yields no fewer than 7 protected food and wine denominations. Among them, the esteemed Canestrato di Moliterno IGP, a firm sheep's milk cheese, develops its singular character in a zone spanning just 60 municipalities. Similarly, the celebrated Fagiolo di Sarconi IGP, a particular bean variety, thrives in these conditions. Episcopia's unique environmental mosaic also underpins the production of Olio lucano IGP and the regional Basilicata IGT wines, embodying the pure essence of this pristine Lucanian landscape.
