Sagra della polenta, funghi porcini e cinghiale

In the beating heart of Tuscany, the small village of Poggio alla Malva transforms from September 13-21 into a stage dedicated to the authentic flavors of the Tuscan countryside. The Sagra della Polenta, Funghi Porcini e Cinghiale is a celebration of local culinary tradition, where three star ingredients meet in dishes that tell stories of territory and passion. Polenta in all its varieties becomes the golden thread of a gastronomic experience where each course represents the unbreakable bond between cuisine and the nature surrounding the village. During these nine festive days, visitors can savor rich and flavorful dishes: creamy polenta with wild boar ragù, pan-fried porcini mushrooms fragrant with garlic and fresh parsley, combinations with melted local pecorino cheeses. Every recipe is a journey into the past, prepared using techniques passed down through generations. Robust flavors find their perfect match in the red DOC wines of Val d'Orcia and Brunello di Montalcino, which enhance every nuance of local preparations. The atmosphere is one of a welcoming community, a territory that tells its story through food, live music, and folkloric performances that animate the summer evenings. The festival also offers rustic side dishes, homemade desserts prepared from ancient recipes, and dedicated spaces for children with educational food and wine activities. Evenings come alive with traditional Tuscan music performances and demonstrations of ancient crafts. An authentic opportunity to experience Tuscany at its most genuine, immersed in true flavors and the warmth of a community that knows how to celebrate.
