The “march of a thousand glasses” is arriving in Borgo Sant’Angelo in Perugia
With “The March of a Thousand Chalices” Saturday June 29th The fourth appointment of the summer calendar of the “Corso Garibaldi District” project is scheduled. A founding characteristic of the initiatives is to continue the path of regeneration and promotion linked to Borgo Porta Sant’Angelo in the historic center of Perugia, a neighborhood that until a few years ago was in a state of severe degradation. The situation is now clearly improving, with urban redevelopment activity also continuing through a series of initiatives.
The event dedicated to wine has grown this year, doubling the number of Umbrian wineries from 7 to 15, with some even from outside the region. The event intends promote the new circuit of small artisan wineries Umbrian and beyond that implement a production attentive to the link with the territory and without excessive use of oenological products.
The start is scheduled for 6pm when it will be possible to taste the wines with three different types of tickets: 1 glass (4 euros), 2 glasses (7 euros), 6 glasses per tasting tour (20 euros). It will also be possible to dine with the different and multi-ethnic cuisines of the various restaurants in the area. In fact, there are no food and wine stands outside the kitchens of the neighborhood, this is precisely with a view to making the activities of the village known and also economically encouraged with gastronomic proposals from different parts of the world. For food there will also be a street food offer between 6 and 8 euros to take away and always from all the restaurants in the neighborhood.
