Wild Boar Festival of Suvereto

Across two December weekends Suvereto turns the medieval centro storico over to wild boar — slow-cooked in red wine made into pappardelle ragù grilled as braciole on open fires. Hunters from the surrounding Maremma supply the meat; cellars open along Via Magenta for tastings of the inland Bolgheri wines that pair with it. The fortress hosts a closing concert under the Christmas lights.

NoteCash-only at most stalls. December evenings cool fast — bring a layer.
