About Sagra dei Sapori e del Pizzocchero
Pizzocchero in the Lario Mountains
In the hamlet of Predàa, in Zelbio, the Sagra dei Sapori e del Pizzocchero celebrates one of the iconic dishes of Lombardy's mountain cuisine. Pizzocchero, a prized specialty of Valtellina origin, is served enriched with local ingredients, accompanied by grilled sausages and French fries. The festival combines gastronomy with a small market and live music, in a village festival atmosphere.
