A day at "Festival delle Sagre" Asti Italy
Hi  Dear Stemmit community,

Today my post leads you to one of the recent local festivals in the north-west of Italy.  The location is Asti a town situated approximately 50 km far from Turin.  According to Lonely Planet the famous Tour guide the region Piedmont is the first region which should be visited in 2019.

From Turin is very easy to reach by train. Once you are in the mainrailstation of Asti the festival is around few minutes walking.   Well the main topic of this post is food.  The festival is named “Festival delle Sagre” and take place once a year in September.  Different “stands”which looks small houses made by wood with different food.   If you add just 0.50 euros a glass of red wine is included in any of these stands.

Follow me walking from a stand to another sometimes waiting for some queues, but I did not mind because food was worth it. 
The first dish I have eaten was from a nearby area named  Monferrato. Actually it was fried bread with salami

Roasted bread with tomato and grapefruit.

“Puccia di Monastero” a delicious and fluffy polenta made of cornmeal and melted in bean soup with butter and cheese.

![20180909_151903.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb6quQSERki9JURiMQnFQDynxbS24vjxeR2prkJpu4Z7d/20180909_151903.jpg)

Fried eggs with polenta and tasty truffles.

![20180909_152934.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdB1G1tEdiMeVKeFoZ6Ma5PhvdapMg9kVSASJ2Qs6QkPt/20180909_152934.jpg)

Typical dessert of Piemonte made of amaretti biscuits, cocoa powder, milk, chocolate sugar, and cofee powder.   Great combination eat this dessert with the sweet sparkling wine Moscato d'Asti.

![20180909_164522.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdGNhSR3ZZM415U4awyLQFgqmgwMpk292t3T6MrGKVxtR/20180909_164522.jpg)

That was only for lunch after that many stands had a break. Me and my friends just sit in some of tables and spend times talking to each others.

Once the stands opened again we move to eat something else but still local dishes and the next one was "Gnocchi alla cunichese" with minced meat, sausage and local cheese.

![20180909_184012.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPCzGuYc9EXWcsKFznNgUMtUhB2q1TWohdYUtARkoJfHr/20180909_184012.jpg)

And very typical from Piedmont the Tongue in Green Sauce made of parsley, garlic, oil olive and anchovies

![20180909_190610.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXCV6RVUvnuqUGem2T3FRxWNSbnJkYVfP9fZicMGiqyDR/20180909_190610.jpg)

My last dish was Agnolotti al Plin made with a sauce of pork and veal meat, eggs, spinach, butter garlic rosemary, black pepper, and local cheese.

![20180909_190945.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ9XdySBwsLLgVE7uB28B66NiwASVJRCnmabFveeZMSTv/20180909_190945.jpg)

I had to digest what I have eaten. The festival and its stand were going to close. Therefore we decided to walk through the old center of Asti for around a couple of hours before catch the train to Turin.

![20180909_203620.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfSDTJ2hRhRPkGsCBuzHzjVTQ4wy3ZL8Dzc9n2FkwuHem/20180909_203620.jpg)

I stopped eating but not to drink  we went to Doujador a national exihibition of selected wine from different part of Italy  and drink some local wine.

![20180909_213909.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR8KegHwV3x3sjybZq2q84NTaiPdFe3C4gKVF4LTJ2BJ5/20180909_213909.jpg)

![20180909_213911.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcHE2Eo9RAZU3QYxqpodu1sPkVLTYamiYXetX6mgVNCMP/20180909_213911.jpg)

![20180909_210410.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmStS8hzxxV1VNDjQoZEv6ntjtcLPXdXyd9X1V7eyLiVuT/20180909_210410.jpg)

Actually I drank only one red wine I did not want to get drunk also because I had to catch the last train to Turin.

![image (12).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSRB3Vna85XrhcAKuNzUQGZ2XHiMzfgTzmXT9iNTh5DSG/image%20(12).jpg)

Ruché is an high-quality wine from Castagnole Monferrato a town in the province of Asti. If you have chance you should come to this festival and exibition in order to taste local food and wine.

Thanks for your attention
