Fresh cotechino and lentils

Fresh cotechino with lentils is a traditional Italian dish that is a must on every menu, especially in winter. Here are a few simple tips for cooking fresh cotechino to perfection:

• Remove the cotechino from the vacuum-packed bag;
• Pierce the cotechino casing with a toothpick to ensure that the casing does not break during cooking and that the excess fat comes out.
• Wrap the cotechino in aluminium foil, immerse it completely in a pan of cold water and start cooking.
• As soon as the water boils, lower the heat and cook the cotechino for at least 2 hours.

Salame campagnolo, provola and taralli

Salame campagnolo is a classic of cured meats. It is hand-tied and made from a balanced combination of meat from exclusively Italian pork meat, salt, pepper and selected seasonings. At the end of a slow seasoning phase it takes on a unique flavour that makes it perfect to be enjoyed, at aperitif time, accompanied by provola cheese and taralli.

Rigatoni Pasta from Gragnano PGI bronze drawn and La Rustica tomato sauce

The perfect combination for cooking pasta like a real chef! Rigatoni pasta “La Rigorosa” is typical product of the Neapolitan tradition and thanks to its rough surface it collects the sauce perfectly. So what a better combination than “La Rustica” tomato sauce? An Apulian tomato sauce that comes from the open field cultivation of cherry tomatoes harvested by hand in July and August and processed in an artisanal and fresh way. Its strong and full-bodied character will be perfect combined with “La Rigorosa” Rigatoni.

Pinot Nero Brut Oltrepò Pavese D.O.C. Charmat Method sparkling wine

The grapes used for this wine are 100% Pinot Noir cultivated on a limestone clay soil, vineyards located on 4 hectares in the municipalities of Mornico Losana and Santa Giulietta. The production technique to obtain this wine starts with a fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperature. This is followed by the “presa di spuma”, a process that lasts about ten days, and the refinement in autoclave on the yeasts for about six months. This is a wine with a very fine perlage, a straw colour, delicate aromas with very light notes of yeast, a fresh, harmonious and persistent taste, the perfect accompaniment for first courses or aperitifs.
