Less than 10 miles away from the pottery town of Deruta, Torgiano has approx. 5,700 inhabitants and is most famous for its wines - especially the wine Torgiano Rosso Riserva, which is adorned with the highest quality labelling for DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita).
A number of artists gather here every August the annual event "Appuntamento con in vinarelli", where artists use wine instead of water to dip their brushes in when painting as a tribute to the area's wines. Others will probably just make do with drinking wine, which also has great potential for the city's bars and restaurants.
