Liguria is called the Italian Riviera. It is a sliver of land across the Ligurian Sea north from the Mediterranean. Liguria attractions include Cinque Terre, five little seaside villages that may steal your heart and also the bustling port of Genoa, Christopher Columbus' home base. Considering the fact that very little Ligurian wines are sold in The united states we always propose other Italian wines, often beginning in the general neighborhood.
For starters you may enjoy Torta Pasqualina ( Artichoke Savory Pie) that stars ricotta cheese, grated Mozzarella dairy product, and lots of eggs and essential olive oil. So it constitutes a fine main dish too. Recommended wine pairings include Grignolino d'Asti DOC from Piedmont close to the Ligurian border, a fizzy red or rosé Lambrusco Mantovano DOC, or even the Ligurian Rossese di Dolceacqua DOC, also called Dolceacqua DOC. Quote; this last wine could have a quite distinctive herbal, resiny taste.
Cima alla Genovese (Stuffed Flank Steak Genoa Style) includes plenty of good stuff for example anchovies, capers, and tuna. Use three glasses of white wine for any two-pound steak. Theoretically you can keep this for two days within the refrigerator. I bet you cannot. For wine opt for a Piedmont Freisa d'Asti DOC or Grignolino d'Asti DOC, or even the Ligurian Rossese di Dolceacqua DOC. Incidentally, Bartenura sells a kosher version from the Freisa d'Asti.
Pandolce (Pandolce) is a Christmas cake also called Panettone. Some claim the very best Pandolce comes form Genoa where tradition requires lots of candied fruit. Love this particular treat having a white sparkling Asti DOCG (formerly called Asti Spumante) or get a sparkling dark wine, the Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG also called the Acqui DOCG. These vino is both from Piedmont.
Levi Reiss has authored or co-authored ten books on computers and also the Internet, but to tell the truth, he would rather just drink Italian, French, or another wine, associated with the right foods and spend more time with his wife and family. He teaches classes in computers at an Ontario French-language college. Visit his site dedicated to Italian food at fooditalyfood.com.
