The vendemmia is over. Time to party! 
We went to the 71st Sagra dell’Uva in Cupramontana, which is
yet another
charming hilltop town not far from Casalba.
This is the best sagra I’ve been to in these parts…so far. Well, they’ve had a lot of practice; Cupramontana has been celebrating the grape harvest since 1928. 
The town centre was completely lined with stalls, the majority of which were mini restaurants each selling Italian goodies: anything from piadine to platefulls of polenta alla papera and any other plate you can think of.
There was also some wine. A lot of wine.
Wine was being sold from large vats on wheels…
and from a wine ‘fountain’ in the form of a tube which ran from the balcony of the town hall down to the main square offering a free glass of Verdicchio for all.
It was a lovely evening in a beautiful setting.
Even the side streets were decorated:
