54th edition of a wine festival — running well over half a century — dedicated to Pergola Rosso DOC, an intense, aromatic red made from the little-known Aleatico grape. The historic centre's cellars, squares, and alleys open for tastings paired with cured meats, cheeses, and local sweets, in a town also known for the Gilt Bronzes of Cartoceto, a rare surviving Roman-era gilded bronze equestrian sculpture group.
