Place: Incisa Scapaccino Incisa Scapaccino is transformed into a fascinating showcase of Piedmontese tradition with the Sagra del Cardo Gobbo e della Barbera, an event that celebrates two food and wine excellences of the area. The cardo gobbo, an extraordinary vegetable cultivated with techniques handed down over time, wins over palates with its natural crunchiness and delicate sweetness, served raw in pinzimonio or cooked in refined dishes of the local cuisine. Alongside it, the regional Barbera makes the perfect companion, with its decisive character and its ability to enhance authentic flavours. During the two days of the festival, the streets of the village come alive with agricultural and craft markets where visitors can discover local producers and specialities of the area. The food stands offer tastings and dishes prepared according to the most traditional recipes, in particular the renowned bagna cauda where the cardo gobbo is the absolute star. Alongside the food and wine offer, musical performances and entertainment designed for all ages make the atmosphere even more festive and engaging. This festival represents the ideal opportunity to immerse the senses in the culture g
