Garaguso

Within Basilicata's Matera province, Garaguso, a compact municipality of 885 residents, is a fundamental setting for the creation of several protected Italian delicacies. Here, specific environmental conditions converge to forge the distinct character of the renowned Pane di Matera IGP, an artisanal bread whose production zone spans just 31 municipalities. The same unique terroir defines the Matera DOC wine. Garaguso also contributes to the broader area for Pecorino di Filiano DOP, a cherished cheese, and 4 other protected denominations, totaling 7 distinct GI products intrinsically linked to this specific corner of Italy.
