Taurasi is an important wine center for the region
and combines the award winning wines with homely cooking
based on homemade pasta, cattle-breeding, oil and
walnut.But Taurasi is more… is handicraft, with its
stone working or ironworking and with the ancient
art of "ricamo a tombolo" and pottery; is architecture
with its amazing historic town center, ruled by the
Longobard castle and medieval structures and stone
portals; is history thanks to its Sannitic roots,
Romanic and longobards dominations and then feud of
Filangieri, Carafa and Latilla clans in the middleage.

Taurasi is religion and faith, through
the routes that starts from the Church of "Collegiata
S. Marciano Vescovo" (VII sec.) toward the church of
"SS. Rosario (1582)", the Chapel of "S. Rocco e S. Sebastiano"
to reach the other religion sites spreaded out into
the "Medio Calore" Valley: "Santuario di S. Ciriaco"
(loc. Torre le Nocelle), "S. Maria Assunta e S.Anna"
Church (loc. Montemiletto), "Collegiata della SS. Annunziata"
Church (loc. Pietradefusi).
Taurasi is folklore and tradition. The River “Calore”
valley in which the town of Taurasi is melted in, is
marked by historical commemoration of the assault at
the castle of “Leonessa” in Montemiletto, that allows
a deep diving into local traditions like "Sagra
delle castagne" (the chestnut festival) (loc. Montefusco
in October), "Sagra dell'uva e del vino" (The
wine and grapes festival) (loc. Montemiletto in September),
"Sagra del fusillo e dell'aglianico" (the
“fusillo” pasta and “Aglianico” wine Festival)(loc.
Pietradefusi in August), "Sagra del Torrone"
(kind of nougat Festival) Loc. Dentecane in November,
"Sagra del Taurasi" (“Taurasi” Wine Festival)
loc. Taurasi in August, "Sagra della Pizza Chiena"
(Pizza Festival) loc. Torre le Nocelle in October and
"Sagra degli gnocchi e della carne alla brace"
(Gnocchi pasta and barbecued meat) that fill with happiness
the nights of Venticano in August. |
