Sagra Della Nana

The Sagra della Nana of Montagnano is an unmissable opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavors of Valdichiana's culinary heritage. This fascinating event celebrates one of the region's most iconic dishes: nana, a type of handmade egg pasta similar to tagliatelle, which has defined local gastronomic identity for centuries and is prepared according to recipes passed down through generations.

Made with soft wheat flour and fresh eggs, this pasta stands out for its rustic texture and genuine flavor, making it perfect for absorbing traditional local sauces.
