Drink at Materia Prima Bistrot

The best bars are where drinks take a different direction

Looking for a wine bar in Matera? You’ll find many.
But if you’re looking for one that feels different – more intentional, less predictable – you just found it. 

We don’t build a simple list: we create a point of view.
Every bottle of regular and natural wine, every single beer, every drink is here for a reason.
Not because it’s famous or expected, but because it tells a story and evokes emotions.

At Materia Prima Bistrot, drinking is not just about what’s in your glass.
It’s about how, where and why you enjoy it.

Unconventional by nature wines

Natural wines are our core.
Unfiltered, alive, sometimes a little wild. Or funky, how we like to define them.

They are wines that evolve in the glass.
Wines that don’t try to please everyone.
They have a strong personality, just like us – and probably like you too.

We work mostly with small producers, in Italy and beyond. People who care about soil, time and process.
Why? To offer you unexpected choices, for when you feel like going off script.
If you’re searching for natural wine in Matera, or for labels of traditional wines that still go beyond the usual bar offer, you’re in the right place.

Aperitivo, reimagined

Imagine this scene:
It’s summer. You are finally in Italy for your well-deserved holiday.
Late afternoon. The light softens, the air cools down.
You sit outside, enjoying the beauty that surrounds you.
A glass arrives.
Then maybe something tasty to munch on.

This is the aperitivo ritual at Materia Prima Bistrot.

Not loud. Not rushed.
Just the right pace and the right drink.

If you want to experience real Italian life, you can’t miss an aperitivo in Matera. This is where you slow down, enjoy, and build a memory that will be the best souvenir to take home with you.

Not for one type of drinker

We’re not a place for just one kind of taste.

If you love wine, natural or not, you’ll have plenty to explore.
If you prefer beer, you’ll find options that go beyond the obvious – including non-alcoholic and gluten-free beers.
If you are a cocktail person, you’re still in the right place.

No category matters more than the other. What matters to us is that you feel comfortable choosing.

So whether you’re specifically searching for a wine bar in Matera or simply a good place to have a drink, you’ll find your balance at Materia Prima Bistrot.

We don’t follow trends nor try to impress.
We focus on how things feel.

A glass that shines in the golden hour.
A fresh sip on a warm evening.
A bubbly beer that surprises you.

Simple things, but never basic. This is what makes our drinks different from those of many bars in Matera.
