Sagra Septembrium (Trinity Festival)

The Trinity Festival is reborn in Strevi

After a few years of absence, the Trinity Festival returns to enliven the Borgo Inferiore of Strevi, a small town in the Province of Alessandria nestled in the hills of the Acqui Monferrato, in Piedmont. It is being brought back to life by the Nuova Pro Loco Strevi, with the support of the local municipality, which has chosen to encapsulate this revival under the evocative name of Sagra Septembrium. The heart of the festival is Piazza Scovazzi, where locals and visitors gather for two days in a typical village atmosphere.

Local flavors

The festival is first and foremost a journey through the flavors of the Strevi and Monferrato traditions. Gastronomic offerings include non-stop ravioli, pork shank with potatoes, pulled pork sandwiches, and, for those seeking alternatives, vegetarian options and menus designed for children. The second day features the rosticciata strevese, the classic mixed meat grill that has always accompanied the village festivals.

Music, flag-wavers, and vintage cars

Alongside fine dining, the Sagra Septembrium offers an entertainment program ranging from live music to performances. The opening night features the Shary Band, playing hits from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. The final day welcomes the flag-wavers and musicians of the Palio di Nizza Monferrato and, most notably, the first Moscato di Strevi Rally, dedicated to vintage cars, with a scenic tour through the local hills and vineyards.

Moscato di Strevi, the soul of the village

It is no coincidence that the festival is linked to wine: Strevi gives its name to the Moscato di Strevi DOC, a sweet dessert wine whose production area coincides with the town's borders. Made from white Moscato grapes that are dried and aged for a long time, it is the village's signature product and the common thread of many local events. The Sagra Septembrium thus becomes the perfect opportunity to discover an authentic corner of Piedmont's food and wine scene, far from the most crowded circuits.
