Dear friends of Pesto Fresco, this week we are telling you about Sagralea, an event sponsored by the City of Albenga, the Region of Liguria and the Riviere Liguria Chamber of Commerce, which is held every year in August in Salea, a small hamlet in the municipality of Albenga (Savona).
The event, which will take place over six days from August 14 to 19, was created in 1968 with the intention of promoting Pigato wine, typical of the area.
From year to year, Sagralea has grown and improved to become an event with an exhibition space of great potential and a reference for Ligurian wine connoisseurs, so much so that the correct name of the event is “Sagralea – Review of Pigato wine and other DOC wines of Liguria.”
24 thousand meters of exhibition space, with about 60 thousand visitors over the six days of the exhibition, 120 booths and a large refreshment area with our typical Ligurian dishes.
The Sagralea 2018 Program is full of events and includes music and dance every night, prizes, raffle, showcooking with renowned Chefs from the area, interesting workshops and tastings.
We point out a few that we found particularly interesting, although they are all very nice
