This specialty, prepared by hand according to recipes passed down through generations, represents the deep connection between the territory and the pastoral tradition that has distinguished these lands throughout the centuries. The gnocchi, served with a rich and intense sauce made from mutton meat, tell stories of genuine cooking, where every ingredient plays an essential role in building bold and memorable flavors.
The festival offers far more than a simple tasting: it is a complete immersion in village life, where the streets of Nerola transform into a stage of conviviality.
