Experience the 51st edition of the Sagra del Piccione, organized by the Montecchio Amateur Sports Association.

All dishes are perfectly paired with local wines. The restaurant, pizzeria, and bar are open every evening. The festival also features lively dance nights, briscola card tournaments, scenic vineyard treks, and fun attractions for children.
Indulge in a true taste of Tuscany with the Montecchiese appetizer, followed by rich first courses like truffle, butter, and sage potatoes, and the smoky flavor of pici al fumo pasta.
