The Sagra del Vino di Monticelli is a food and wine festival that brings the historic center of Monticelli, a hamlet in the municipality of Esperia, to life within the natural landscape of the Monti Aurunci Natural Park. Established in 1989 by the 'Monticelli 1989' Cultural Club, the festival is part of the Estate Esperiana summer program and celebrates local farming traditions and winemaking heritage. Visitors can enjoy guided tasting routes highlighting typical wines from the Aurunci area, with special prominence given to the Olivello red and Reale white. Food stalls offer traditional regional dishes, including homemade gnocchi served with a choice of sauces. The evenings come alive with musical entertainment and live performances, ranging from concerts by Ukus in Fabula and DJ sets by Flavio Ferdinandi to entertainment hosted by Mimmo Crolla.
