June 23 to June 25 are the days of the “Sagra dell’Ortica” (Nettle Festival). After the success of previous years, the Sagra dell’Ortica returns to Sambuca (Tavarnelle).

Nettle is in the center of the food event. From its stinging leaves, we derive a food delicacy when the plant is cooked by Sambuca experts.
