The simplest things are often the best. Little is better is a concept deeply rooted in Italian culture, especially when it comes to food.
The so-called Dolce Vita consists of enjoying beauty in its simplicity. This is why, for example, the ingredients of real Italian recipes are few, in season and, when possible, with short cooking methods.

This proposal, rich in precious seasonal ingredients, perfectly combines goodness and simplicity.

The suggested pairing wine is Müller Thurgau 2020, from the Trentina Cavit company, 100% Müller Thurgau. It was appreciated for its delicate aromas, “Not particularly intense, it gives hints of fresh white flowers, accompanied by notes of white-fleshed fruits with a light note of mown grass”.
