Sagra dell’Acquaticcio

In the heart of the Marche region, the medieval village of Castello di Colleluce comes alive with the Sagra dell'Acquaticcio, an event celebrating one of the most authentic wines of the Marche's rural tradition. Acquaticcio, named for its low alcohol content and refreshing character, is the star of a festival that evokes the ancient convivial customs of peasant households, when this light wine graced the simple yet genuine tables of farming families. During the festival, visitors can immerse themselves in a bygone atmosphere, tasting this genuine wine alongside the most typical dishes of the Marche territory: steaming soups, local cured meats, crispy crescia flatbread, succulent porchetta pork, and rustic desserts that tell the story of authentic, deeply-rooted gastronomy. The stone-paved streets of the village transform into a natural stage, enriched with harvest-themed decorations that create an atmosphere both festive and nostalgic. The Sagra dell'Acquaticcio is far more than a simple wine tasting: it is a journey into forgotten traditions, a moment of sharing and conviviality where folk music, traditional dances, children's games, and photographic exhibitions make this a complete and engaging experience. A perfect opportunity to discover how people once toasted with joy and simplicity in the Marche countryside.
