Sagra della sautissa

In the heart of Piedmont's Monferrato region, Castelnuovo Don Bosco celebrates one of the most authentic gastronomic symbols of the area: the sautissa. It is far more than a simple sausage—it is a culinary institution that embodies centuries of tradition and the expertise of local communities. The Sagra della Sautissa, held in July, transforms the village into a stage where this undisputed star is presented in all its variations: grilled over charcoal, served alongside steaming polenta, in rich traditional sauces, or even in rustic focaccias that taste of celebration.

During the three days of festivities, visitors can savor not only the sautissa in its countless preparations, but also discover the entire gastronomic philosophy of Monferrato. Alongside the main attraction, artisanal pastries from local bakeries and the region's finest wines take center stage: the sparkling Freisa and the full-bodied Barbera create the perfect accompaniment for a complete gastronomic experience. The atmosphere is authentically that of a traditional village festival, where genuineness is not an excuse but a promise.

The Sagra della Sautissa is also music, entertainment, and conviviality. Brass bands, children's activities, and evening performances create a festive atmosphere that transcends food itself, touching the very essence of Piedmontese culture: the ability to transform a simple moment into a shared memory. An opportunity to come together in a village that welcomes visitors with the warmth of those who understand the true value of hospitality.
