Festival of fusillo, chop and Aglianico wine in Pietrafusi (AV)

Gastronomic goodness and fun at the fusillo, chop and Aglianico wine festival.

From 7 to 8 August 2015, the town of Pietrafusi , in the Avellino area, will host, as it does every summer, the Fusillo, Braciola and Aglianico Wine Festival.

The aforementioned festival, which initially was a sort of celebration where games were played and where trays of fusilli handmade by skilled housewives with a 'fuso' were offered , has over time become an event of great interest, thanks to which one can taste the flavours of authentic local cuisine.

These evenings will bring pots full of homemade fusilli, 7-8 cm long, to the table, topped with a fragrant and flavorful braciola ragù, a typical roulade made with slices of beef rolled into a parcel and tied with kitchen string. The meaty meal will be accompanied by a glass of Aglianico wine, with its deep ruby ​​red color, intense and distinctive aroma, and fresh flavor. You can also sample prosciutto or sausage sandwiches, and other local specialties.
