The Sagra dell'Ortica in Sambuca Val di Pesa offers a unique opportunity to discover and taste culinary delicacies based on a plant often underestimated yet rich in nutritional properties. This traditional event transforms the humble nettle, the undisputed protagonist of Tuscany's rolling woodland, into the main ingredient of authentic and genuine dishes served at the festival's food and wine stands.

A celebration of local gastronomic culture that honours the unbreakable bond between Tuscan territory and its authentic flavours.
