LOCAL PRODUCTS AND GOOD EATING

Suvereto is the home of a delicious cuisine whose traditions have been handed down from generation to generation. Excellent flavor-rich vegetables, such as violet artichokes and spinach, cheeses, mushrooms, and meats are the basic ingredients of the dishes for which this region is famous: vegetable soups, fresh filled pastas, "tortelli", and wild boar cooked according to ancient recipes are some examples.

Salamis, sweets, exquisite honey, and an ample variety of organic produce combined with the splendid wines and savory oils, provide the occasion for wine and food tasting excursions, both private and organized. 

Noted restaurants and typical taverns guarantee excellent cuisine, and the wine-and-food tourism service agencies aid in discovering their cultural worth.

THE WINE ROUTE

An important stretch of the Costa degli Etruschi Wine Route - the Suvereto sub region of the Val di Coma DOC region - winds its way through countryside rich with agricultural traditions, among cork, oak and ilex woods and Mediterranean scrub.

Ever-better known and appreciated wines are made here by blending the traditional grapes of this region, such as Sangiovese, with Cabernet and Merlot to create a fusion of tradition and innovation. Suvereto is an important stop

on the circuit of oil and wine producing towns and is noted for its oil mills. Extra virgin olive oil is a true quality product and well accompanies the delicious cuisine of this area.

Visits to the cellars and oil mills for wine, oil, and local product tasting render this gastronomic itinerary unforgettable.
