Central Italy Food & Wine Degustation
When
Where
Cost
Ask any Florentine about “Il Centro” and they’ll sit you down with some unsalted bread and cinghiale and tell you that their beloved Toscana is the cultural capital of Italy, the same will be spoken as the Romani feed you your Spaghetti alla Carbonara and adoringly show you the ruins where emperors once ruled their ancient city of Roma.
The residents of Umbria will proudly explain their region as you navigate the winding road, whilst the Marche will pour you a glass of Pecorino to toast good health.
Central Italy could never be captured in a few lines, Firenze, Roma, San Gimignano, Perugia. Duomo, Colosseo, Toscana, Pisa where to start???
Paolo, Francesco and the Pistacchi crew have crafted a feast to celebrate this spectacular zone, accompanied by a little bit of vino regionale with each course.
