The city of green tells us about its typical confetti. Designed for celebrations and special occasions, just as the bells ring out in the medieval Piazza del Duomo among its many monuments. It is here that our food and wine tour among the tastiness of the Pistoia Box L<\/strong>\u00a0begins.<\/p>\n We begin to climb the hills of Montalbano<\/strong>, until we stop at a winery belonging to a noble family, which produces a Chianti wine that goes well with steak and game.<\/p>\n We reach the top of San Baronto<\/strong>, land of tireless cyclists. Once here, we deviate slightly to reach a renovated farmhouse with an olive grove overlooking the many terraces. The oil produced here is enchanting, as is the landscape.<\/p>\n We go down the hairpin bends and the sign indicates the home of the brigidino, Lamporecchio<\/strong>. It is a sweet of medieval tradition that was and is a delight for travellers passing through these parts.<\/p>\n In Montecatini<\/strong> we relax in the Torretta thermal park, the part that embraces the Art Nouveau buildings: here we taste the famous waffles, which literally melt in the mouth.<\/p>\n A few kilometres later, heading towards the coast, we stop at Collodi<\/strong>, in the park dedicated to Pinocchio, to whose tale a Pistoia pasta factory has dedicated its own type of pasta. In fact, the shape of the pasta recalls that of the puppet, the Talking Cricket and the whale.<\/p>\n It is now time to climb towards the mountains, up to the highest peak in Tuscany, the Abetone<\/strong> pass, where the woods hold tasty blueberries, with which truly special jams are made.<\/p>\n Near a medieval bridge and the clear waters of a mountain river, near San Marcello Pistoiese<\/strong>, we find an old bakery. We taste almond biscuits so good you won’t believe it, as we prepare for the descent to the city. One of the many goodies that are part of the Pistoia Box.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The confetti of the tradition in Pistoia, the ruby red wine of the earls, the oil from the olive trees grown on terraces, Brigidini, the wafers with a heart of almonds and sugar, the pasta that celebrates Pinocchio, the typical duck ragout, the jam of blueberries harvested by hand, the biscuits from an ancient bakery.<\/p>\n Pistoia.
