Wine pairing

A typical summer dish that is a meal in itself, therefore it is proper to accompany it with white wine that is as appealing as the dish, try a Coda di Volpe. Sannio Coda di Volpe D.O.C.


Chef's Tip

We recommend adding salt to vegetables only when they have finished cooking, so that their liquid does not escape. It is a dish that can be easily served during the summer due to its composition and the inclusion of vegetables and greens.
