Sagra del peperone

Nestled among the rolling hills of Monferrato, Costigliole d'Asti celebrates one of the undisputed stars of the Piedmontese summer harvest: the bell pepper. Colorful, fragrant, and extraordinarily versatile, this vegetable is transformed into dishes that tell the story of local farming wisdom and tradition. From stuffed peppers to grilled varieties, from sweet and sour preparations to rustic salads, the bell pepper reveals itself in all its forms, showcasing its natural sweetness and texture that make it the absolute centerpiece of the summer table.

Alongside the main dishes, the festival offers a wide selection of Piedmontese gastronomic excellence: steaming grilled specialties, flavorful antipasti, delicate agnolotti, and traditional Asti sweets, all accompanied by the region's great wines such as Barbera, Dolcetto, and Moscato d'Asti. A perfect combination that celebrates local flavors and the area's wine culture.

But the Sagra del Peperone is more than just food: the village comes alive with concerts, guided tastings, exhibitions of organic agricultural products, and taste workshops that create a fascinating bridge between agriculture, cuisine, and local cultural identity. A complete experience that celebrates the elegance and substance of Piedmontese tradition.
