In the heart of Lazio, the charming village of Castelnuovo di Farfa celebrates one of the region's most authentic culinary traditions: the Sagra del Frittello e del Vino Novello. This event is a genuine journey into the past, when fritters were the quintessential humble sweet of Lazio's peasant cuisine, prepared with simple ingredients yet unmistakable flavour. The festival animates the village streets with a spirit of genuine conviviality, allowing visitors to rediscover these forgotten dishes and savour the new wine, a symbol of the wine season's renewal. The fritters of Castelnuovo di Farfa are far more than simple pastries: they are custodians of stories, of recipes passed down through generations, and of a deep connection to the Lazio countryside. Served alongside new wine, still fresh from the harvest, they create a perfect pairing that reflects the harmony of local traditions. Gastronomic stalls scattered throughout the village offer the chance to taste not only the festival's stars but also other regional specialities, transforming the day into a complete culinary experience. Attending this sagra means much more than sampling food: it means becoming part of a community that proudly preserves its roots. It's the perfect opportunity for families, couples, and food and wine enthusiasts to spend an unforgettable day immersed in the authentic atmosphere of a Lazio village, where tradition is still alive and celebrated with genuine passion.
