Add wine and allow to evaporate.

Wine pairing

Its slightly marked tendency toward sweetness does not contrast with the other flavors. We selected a sparkling white wine that is straw-yellow in color with golden highlights, with a yellow flowers and ripe fruit bouquet that is dry, hot, fairly mellow, fresh and slightly savory. Colli Euganei Serprino Frizzante D.O.C.


Chef's Tip

The broth used to cook the rice must be boiling hot. Remember that rice must be stirred from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Creaming the rice must be done off the heat to prevent the cheese from cooking and the butter from separating its fat from its whey. Always season with salt when finished to prevent it from becoming salty as the broth reduces during evaporation.
