Siena's Consorzio Agrario has been focusing for over 100 years on the quality of local products, which have given character to a traditionally simple cooking. That's why, in order to promote the traditional ingredients which have contributed to making Tuscan cookery internationally known, Siena's Consorzio Agrario is organising Saturday Tasting. The mouth-watering rendez-vous at the Sosta del Granducato where you'll have the opportunity to taste the region's typical products and discover the offers of the day.
