Peposo dell’Impruneta — Typical dish of Florence
Typical dish of Florence

Peposo dell’Impruneta

Peposo dell’Impruneta is a dark, aromatic stew in which large pieces of beef slowly cook in red wine until they become extremely tender. The intense aroma of black pepper dominates the dish, creating a warm, enveloping spiciness that blends with the richness of the meat. The sauce is thick and rustic, perfect for soaking up with Tuscan bread. It’s a hearty main course meant for convivial tables, ideal in the colder seasons.

Season: Autunno-Inverno€12–18

Why it matters

This dish embodies the most rustic and authentic soul of Florentine cuisine. Born from manual labor and the kiln culture of Impruneta, it represents the Tuscan ability to transform a few simple ingredients into a bold and memorable preparation.

Origin story

Tradition says that peposo was born among the brickmakers of Impruneta, who produced the famous Tuscan terracotta. The workers slowly cooked beef, red wine, and plenty of pepper in clay pots near the blazing kilns, taking advantage of the steady heat. Over time the recipe made its way into Florentine trattorias, becoming one of the symbols of the local cuisine.
