In the enchanting setting of the Oltrepò Pavese, the ancient village of Poggio Ferrato is preparing to host a food and wine event of extraordinary beauty and flavour. On Saturday 13 July 2024, the streets and squares of this picturesque village will come alive for the eagerly awaited ‘Sapori del Borgo‘ event. Organised by the Amici di Poggio Ferrato Cultural Association, this evening promises to be an unforgettable experience for lovers of good food and wine.
The evening promises to be a sensory journey through the food and wine excellence of the area. Five carefully selected local wineries will offer visitors the chance to taste a variety of wines that tell the story of the Oltrepò Pavese wine-growing history and tradition. Participants will have the opportunity to taste fresh and fragrant whites, full-bodied and structured reds, and lively sparkling wines, each accompanied by detailed explanations of production processes and organoleptic characteristics.
But ‘Sapori del Borgo‘ is not just about wine. The event will offer a rich selection of typical dishes, an authentic expression of the area‘s traditional cuisine. Braised ravioli will be one of the stars of the evening, with their fresh handmade pasta and succulent filling that encapsulates all the local culinary wisdom.
Alongside the ravioli, cheeses from the Oltrepò Pavese area will have a place of honour. These artisan-made dairy products will be accompanied by local honey, a combination that will enhance the contrast between the sweetness of the honey and the savouriness of the cheeses. There will, of course, be no shortage of cured meats and cold cuts from the Alto Oltrepò.
The atmosphere of ‘Sapori del Borgo‘ will be enhanced by the evocative setting of the ancient village of Poggio Ferrato. The event will not only be an opportunity to taste excellent products, but also to discover the historical and cultural beauty of the village.
"Sapori del Borgo" is a tribute to the richness and variety of the Oltrepò Pavese wine and food heritage. It is an opportunity to rediscover authentic flavours, to immerse oneself in an atmosphere of conviviality, and to appreciate the work of those who, every day, strive to keep the area‘s traditions alive.
On Saturday 13 July 2024, Poggio Ferrato awaits you for an unforgettable evening, where every glass of wine and every dish tells a story of passion and dedication. Don‘t miss this appointment with the flavours and emotions of a unique territory, which will win you over with its authenticity and timeless beauty.
