Bacco dei Borboni Award

In collaboration with the Martina Franca Voltaire Association, the Premio Bacco dei Borbone has been awarded every year since 1978 at the Festival della Valle d’Itria to the most “popular” artist at that year’s edition. The prize consists of a selection of 100 bottles of Martina DOC wine from the Di Marco winery, and has been awarded to hugely prestigious national and international performers, confirming the high artistic standards of the festival.
