Bufalotto and Asprinio Wine Festival

A festival in the heart of Terra di Lavoro

The Bufalotto and Asprinio Wine Festival is one of the most deeply rooted food and wine events in Casapesenna, a small town in the Aversa area of the Caserta province, in Campania. Created to showcase the typical products of the plains between the Volturno river and Aversa, the festival has grown with each edition to become a highly anticipated summer event, filling the town's streets and squares with visitors from across the province.

The two stars: bufalotto and Asprinio

The heart of the festival lies in two local excellences. Bufalotto meat—the meat of young buffalo raised in the famous Campanian buffalo supply chain—is featured at the stalls in many preparations: stews, meatballs, burgers, gourmet sandwiches, and traditional peasant dishes, ranging from classic recipes to more creative reinterpretations. It is paired with Asprinio d'Aversa DOC wine, a fresh, light, and lively white wine, historically grown on the spectacular "alberate aversane," the towering vines married to poplar trees that define the agricultural landscape of this area.

A program of taste and entertainment

For several evenings, the festival brings Casapesenna to life with a program that blends fine dining and entertainment. Alongside the food stalls open every night, there are guided tastings of Asprinio with producers and experts, pairings with local cheeses and Campanian wines, taste workshops, and culinary demonstrations.

• Food stalls featuring bufalotto-based dishes
• Tastings of Asprinio d'Aversa DOC wine
• Live music, folk performances, and cabaret
• Craft markets and local farm-to-table products
• Entertainment, games, and activities for children and families

Tradition and local identity

More than just a village fair, the festival is a way to share the agricultural identity of this corner of Campania and to promote products that are part of the Caserta region's gastronomic heritage. The Pro Loco and local organizations host the event with the goal of promoting the territory, supporting producers, and offering visitors an authentic experience filled with bold flavors, good wine, and conviviality. It is the ideal opportunity to discover Casapesenna and the food and wine traditions of the Aversa area.
