Panzano in Chianti
is a small town located in the Chianti area of Tuscany just south of Florence. This
weekend local Chianti producers will gather in the town square to show off
their wines and pour tastings for all of the eager festival goers. Fifteen
euros gets you a glass that enables you to taste as much as you want over the four
day festival. When you need to come up for air or more likely food, head over
to Cecchini’s Butcher shop for some bread and lard (That’s right! Good old
fashioned pigs’ lard mixed with herbs and smeared on crusty bread.). Also worth checking out are his two
restaurants: Dario Doc and Solociccia (for the latter, you will need a
reservation which can be made in the butcher’s shop).
