as, if! Appassimento Primitivo – Torrevento (Italy, Puglia)
The wine is the heart of the package. For the Appassimento, the Primitivo grapes are withered after harvest before they are fermented. You know the principle from Amarone; here it is implemented with the Apulian Primitivo grape. Due to the loss of water, sugar, aromas and tannins are concentrated. In the glass, it is a deep ruby red with purple reflections. On the nose, you will find candied orange peel, Amarena cherry and rose petals, plus spicy coffee notes. On the palate, the wine is juicy and full-bodied, with light spice and a long finish.
Rigatoni and PEPERONI sauce – Viani
The ribbed tubes of the rigatoni pick up chunky sauces instead of leaving them on the bottom of the plate. The tomato sauce with bell peppers and herbs is fruity, slightly sweet and mildly spicy on the finish. The bell pepper gives it depth without overpowering the clear tomato note.
Bruschetta – Cascina San Giovanni
The classic spread made from tomatoes and herbs is spicy and fresh. On toasted white bread, it becomes an antipasto in minutes. It also works as a side dish with cold fish or grilled vegetables.
Pairs well with: Rigatoni with the bell pepper sauce and freshly grated Pecorino or torn mozzarella. The fruit notes of the Primitivo mirror the tomato, its spice handles the mild heat. To start, there is bruschetta on toasted white bread. The rigatoni are also suitable for Pasta alla Norma with eggplant and salted ricotta.
Four products, a ready-packed gift box: decorative sticker and gift ribbon are already included; upon request, we can send the set directly to the destination address. The set is suitable as a gift for a birthday, for Christmas or as a thank you, for a joint cooking evening for two or for anyone who would like to try Puglia with the whole menu.
