The Rollo Herb Festival 🌿 in Liguria is an event that celebrates nature, traditions and local crafts.
It is held in the charming village of Rollo, in Andora (SV), every year in June.
During the event, the village is transformed into an open-air garden: numerous exhibitors offer herbs, officinal herbs, organic products, crafts and Ligurian specialties.
It is a festival that combines gastronomic culture, nature and conviviality in a magical atmosphere between the sea and the Ligurian Apennines.

Food and wine pairing
To which wine do we pair this good regional dish that has a fatty component, given by the ingredients in the walnut sauce?
Without in any way detracting from the Ligurian wines, all of which are interesting, as far as those from our winery are concerned, we propose our own Riesling dei Prassi as a pairing.
Praxis is a dry, sparkling white wine with fruity overtones, rather light and definitely drinkable.
