About Saporitissimo
A culinary journey in Castel di Sangro
Saporitissimo is an event dedicated to celebrating the excellence of Italian food and craftsmanship, returning to the center of Castel di Sangro, a town in the Alto Sangro area of the L'Aquila province, Abruzzo. The event takes place in Piazza Plebiscito, the town's main square, transforming the historic center for three days into a showcase of flavors and artisanal creations from every corner of Italy.
The food and wine trail
The heart of the event is the exhibitor market, featuring a curated selection of local products that tell the story of Italy from North to South and the Islands. Among the stalls, you will find specialties that make for a true journey of taste:
- Artisanal chocolate and mulled wine from the Piedmont tradition
- Cured meats from Norcia and Abruzzese preserves
- Neapolitan pizza and cheeses from Alta Irpinia
- Calabrian liquorice

Alongside the gastronomic specialties, local producers are also present, offering zero-mile products linked to the Alto Sangro and Abruzzo region.
Craftsmanship and creativity
