In the village, which is part of the Municipality of Montalcino, visitors will be able to learn about and purchase truffles and other local products, participate in tastings and informative sessions and discover the world of hunting and harvesting of this highly prized product of the land. The program also features events dedicated to local culture and traditions, as well as opportunities to visit and experience the historic center of San Giovanni d’Asso.

The 40th edition marks an important milestone for an event that has been promoting the region and its food and wine heritage for four decades, attracting enthusiasts and visitors to explore the Montalcino area.
