Baccano a Montecampano - Festa del Vino
Wine, flavors, and 'bacchi' among the alleys of Montecampano
About Baccano a Montecampano
A wine festival in the alleys of Amerino
Montecampano is a small hamlet of Amelia, a town in the province of Terni in the Amerino region. Here, one Sunday in October, Baccano - Festa del Vino takes place, a sagra (local festival) that transforms the village alleys into a journey of taste and conviviality dedicated to wine and traditional flavors.
The 'bacchi' and the spirit of the festival
The peculiarity of Baccano is its currency: in the village streets, the euro gives way to 'bacchi', a playful coin minted for the occasion, according to the Pro Loco's slogan 'In the baccanal, the euro is not valid'. The spirit is that of a popular baccanal, summarized by another motto of the festival: 'Where wine reigns, silence does not'.
Flavors of tradition
The food stands offer a rich repertoire of local cuisine: fregnacce, coratella, beans with pork rind, lentils, pizza, porchetta, polenta, pasta, fegatelli, sausages, arrosticini, fried foods, desserts, and chestnuts, all accompanied by local wine. Music and dancing in the streets complete the day. Organized by the local Pro Loco (tourism association), Baccano a Montecampano is one of the most cherished autumn events in this corner of southern Umbria.
Baccano a Montecampano — edition 2026
For 2026, Baccano a Montecampano is expected in its usual autumn period, on a Sunday in October, in the hamlet of Montecampano in Amelia. The event will again feature a route of food stands through the village alleys, with local wine as the protagonist and the playful 'bacchi' currency replacing the euro.
As tradition dictates, typical local dishes are expected – fregnacce, coratella, polenta, chestnuts, and much more – accompanied by music and dancing in the center streets. The precise dates for the 2026 edition have not yet been published at the time of writing this description and will be communicated by the Pro Loco.
