Sestino is a
beautiful stone village in the province of Arezzo, surrounded by the Valtiberina. The town is known for the breeding of Apennines calf from where you get the famous Chianina meat that you may want to taste right here in this town. The story of the origins of this village is inextricably linked to the '
Citta del Sole' (City of the Sun), a village built along with the sixteenth-century fortress near the Sasso di Simone and Simoncello. The Florentine fortress, as well as the town, were destroyed but many of the stones with the symbol of the sun can still be seen in the oldest buildings of Sestino.
The area of the Valtiberina and Sestino are renowned for their local products and delicious recipes. In particular, we suggest that you try the 'maccheroni dolci con le noci' (pasta with walnut sauce, sugar and honey), 'bagnaceto' (bacon with oil, vinegar, onion, garlic and sage) and the 'bostrengo' (cake with eggs, sugar, flour, lemon zest and milk). Sestino is also famous for truffles and Chianina meat.
Among the events in Sestino, we report the 'Sagra della Bistecca' (Steak Festival) at the end of June. You are in the land of the Chianina farmers, how can you miss an event like this one? In addition to food stalls serving steak, you will find many other typical products and you can participate in many events connected to this event: from entertainment for children to motocross races and the 'Palio del Buratto' with the award of 'Vitello d'oro' (Gold Calf) to the most skilled rider. At the end of September, the Chianina is again the protagonist in the National Exhibition of the Chianina, where you can admire this beautiful animal.
