Belisarius

In a hidden corner of Lucania, in the Agri valley always shining as when in the Pleistocene era it shone from the waters of a lake, in Sarconi, in a happy place for its climate and scents, stands the small agricultural company Belisarius .

The lands that constitute it and that compete for space with the surrounding hills, all sloping down from the Sirino (2005 ms/lm) lie flat and undulating along the path of the Sciaura, a river blessed for the quality of its waters of constant flow, fresh and low-calcareous waters , necessary for the most valuable cultures.

The original nucleus of the company, certainly smaller, suitable for a Courtesy-type economy, historically dates back to the end of the 19th century but only recently with grandfather Domenico, his son Mario and the current operator , his nephew Domenico, has found reasons and motivations for a production impulse that aims above all at quality through the meticulous and loving research of the most valuable ecotypes dating back to the ancient bean crops, jewels which, since the beginning of the 80s, have found attention policy, scientific support accredited by universities throughout Europe up to the recognition, the first in Basilicata, of the PGI (Protected Geographical Indication).

Today the company Belisario , certified by AGROQUALITA', a control body for PGI accredited by MIPAF, produces and packages over 20 ecotypes, seeds handed down from father to son and which, deservedly saved from certain disappearance from the biological cycle as well as from economic and cultural memory , have been restored not only to a correct and healthy diet but also to the pleasure and pride of tasting unique and unmistakable products.
