Wild & tasty Umbria
per person
Umbria contains a pristine corner and a real paradise for nature and taste lovers: the Valnerina. Main and perhaps best known centers of this area are Norcia, a small and delightful town, known not only for being the birthplace of San Benedetto but also for its “norcinerie” cured meats, lentils and black truffles; another center is Cascia, home of Santa Rita.
The Valnerina is a real paradise for the gorge with all its delicacies: from truffle-based pork butchers, from lentils to red potatoes, from cheeses to river fish.
