Black Piedmont rice

The Venere rice from Viani grows in the rice fields of Piedmont – a region known for its rice cultivation for centuries. The deep black grain is not a dye, but a natural expression of the variety: the pigments (anthocyanins) are in the outer layer of the grain and turn the cooking water violet-black.

In the mouth, the Venere shows a slightly nutty note with a pleasantly firm texture – even after around 40 minutes of cooking time, it retains its core. Rich in proteins and trace elements, it is suitable as a risotto base or as a side dish. It looks good with shrimp with garlic and parsley, fried squid, or mushroom ragout. A mineral Vermentino or a light rosé from Provence pairs well as a wine accompaniment.
