This summer, we’re taking your taste buds on a grand tour of Italy—no jet lag, just la dolce vita.Join us each month for our Festivals of Italy, a culinary celebration where every month transports you to a different Italian region. From the capital city to the rolling hills of Tuscany to the heel of Italy’s “boot”! Each series features a 3-course regional menu expertly paired with (2) 3 oz wine pours.
This August we are headed to the Sagra del Farro (The Festivals of Farro) which takes place every year at Abbateggio, in mid-August, in occasion of the village patron's day, August 10th, San Lorenzo (Saint Lawrence)'s day. This festival was born to celebrate a cereal that over the years has been superseded by the most modern grain qualities. In Abbateggio farro was rediscovered by the finding of some seeds of ancient peasant families. Subsequently this cereal spread to small local producers, becoming one of the symbols of this village. During the festival it is possible to taste this cereal in many variants, from the more rustic dishes made according to tradition, to more modern re-elaborations to satisfy every kind of palate.
