Wine tasting and grape harvest in Puglia Salento Italy 0

Posted on August 21, 2007 by Stile Mediterraneo

Carpignano Salentino 1st weekend, September 2007

Dancing and wine tasting at the “Festa te lu mieuru“.

The “festa te lu mieru” is held every year in Carpignano Salentino, during the first weekend in September, for three or four days. It was first held in 1974. During this fiesta wine is drunk in the town’s squares and it is considered a “magical” drink because it makes people feel less embarassed and helps them start the famous tarantate dance.

Close to the stadium, during the evening, the name of the best local wine of the previous year is announced.

Here you will be able to drink as much wine as you want and you can also taste typical dishes.

For example, taste a very special hot panino roll with ricotta scante, which is a special kind of paste made in the Salento, anchovies and hot chilli pepper oil. You can also try pieces of horse meat with sauce or frise. Finally there is lots of lacciu, pieces of celery that locals love dipping into wine, to avoid getting drunk immediately.

Celebrations go on all night long.
