A Warm Welcome to Agriturismo Il Tintore

As the sun began its descent over the rolling hills of Capitignano, my wife and I arrived at Agriturismo Il Tintore, a charming farmhouse nestled in the heart of Tramonti. The air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers and the promise of an unforgettable evening. We were greeted with a glass of robust red wine, a welcome drink that set the tone for the culinary journey ahead.

The garden tour was a delightful prelude to the evening’s main event. As we strolled through the lush greenery, we encountered a series of culinary surprises that tantalized our taste buds. Each stop offered a new flavor, a new aroma, a new story. The highlight was undoubtedly the “Il Caciocavallo Impiccato,” a local cheese that was artfully melted over an open flame and served on crisp bruschetta. The cheese was rich and creamy, with a smoky undertone that lingered on the palate.

Dining Under the Stars

As twilight enveloped the landscape, we were led to a beautifully set table under a canopy of stars. The natural setting of the farmhouse provided a serene backdrop for the evening’s feast. The main course was a celebration of local flavors: grilled meats, perfectly charred and succulent, accompanied by an array of grilled vegetables and golden baked potatoes.

Each bite was a testament to the region’s culinary heritage, a harmonious blend of simplicity and sophistication. The meal was paired with a selection of local wines, each chosen to complement the flavors on our plates. The wine flowed freely, enhancing the convivial atmosphere and encouraging lively conversation among the guests.

A Sweet Conclusion

The evening concluded with a selection of traditional desserts, each more delectable than the last. As we savored the final bites, we were treated to a tasting of local liqueurs, including the famed Limoncello and the lesser-known Concerto. The Limoncello was bright and zesty, a perfect palate cleanser, while the Concerto offered a complex blend of herbs and spices that left a lasting impression.

As we bid farewell to our hosts and fellow diners, I couldn’t help but reflect on the evening’s experiences. Agriturismo Il Tintore had offered more than just a meal; it had provided a glimpse into the soul of the region, a celebration of its culinary traditions and the warmth of its people. It was an evening that lingered in the memory, much like the flavors that had danced on our tongues.
