Montegabbione

Olive oil flavors most of the dishes of this hilly region, and ventresca and guanciale, cured meats, also lend their distinctive taste. Black truffles from Norcia and Spoleto feature in specialties like spaghetti alla nursina and trota al tartufo, trout with truffles. Meat is usually grilled, roasted, or baked; try the roasted lamb, agnello arrosto, traditional at Easter. Porchetta, a roast suckling pig flavored with garlic, rosemary and other herbs, is a signature dish, and game is prepared many ways: squab with olives, pheasant with grapes, and pigeons with tomatoes, olives, vinegar, juniper berries, and prosciutto. Norcia is renowned for its cured meats (norcino means pork butcher in Italian, the master of salami and cured meats), and the entire region offers stupendous cheeses, including caciotta, fresh and salted ricotta, and Pecorino. Desserts include cicerchiata, a wreath-shaped cake made of deep fried dough, candied fruit, nuts and honey, and served at Carnevale and Christmas; pinocatta, a pine nut-studded cookie; and tisichelle, anise-flavored macaroons. Among the outstanding wines of Umbria are Orvieto, Torgiano, Monetefalco Sagrantino, Montefalco Rosso, Colli Altotibertini, Colli Perugini, and Colli del Trasimeno.
