Castagna di Rionero e del vino salentino

Melendugno (Le)

It is the most awaited autumn fruit, the chestnut. The "corn growing on the tree," as it is commonly called, is the star of the festival, organized by the Pro Loco of Melendugno, intoxicating flavors and aromas of the sports season of Melendugno. Collected from the trees of Rionero in Vulture have traveled a long way before reaching the tables of the feast, ready to be enjoyed in many different ways.

At the court of the queen of the evening also many local dishes with a variety of local products that satisfy the palates of all, even the most undecided. To accompany the delicious morsels are the full-bodied wine sips of Salento, ideal for enhancing the warm genuine flavors of tradition.

Very rich also the musical menu: the dances start with the pinch of Li Scianari as the day after the field is transformed into a large dance hall with the Riviera Salento.
