Wine pairing
A dish that combines tastes that are sweet with slight tartness, fatty, provided by the gorgonzola, and aromatic. It is well-balanced. We pair it with a white wine that is a straw-yellow color, aromatic, intense, dry and persistent. Oltrepò Pavese Malvasia D.O.C.

Chef's Tip
This recipe, which is an update of the classic risotto with gorgonzola, exalts the blue cheese's piquant flavor and balances its flavor with the sweetness of the pear sauce.
