Duck breast served with honey sauce and Recioto wine
The decision to combine products with traditional origin, as duck meat, to the red wines of the Valpolicella has led to the creation of this dish. Slightly spicy when cooking, it is completed by a honey and Recioto sauce, which decorates it very discreetly.
Dessert
The sweetness of a nice memory
Fregolona
It is a crumbly biscuit, which is typical in the whole piedmont region, its name changes from province to province and it is made with butter, flour, sugar, almonds and cornmeal. It goes well with sweet wines, among which our Recioto.
Cimbro
Small cheese, aged for about six months, and made with "Monte Veronese" milk; usually combined with "Pasta di Mele". This is the medieval recipe for a cake that was typical of the Venetian Republic, prepared with honey and apples and a mixture of spices. The same that we find in the wines that are made with the sun-dried grapes of the Valpolicella.Gelato di ricotta alla grappa di Amarone
An ice cream that we make in cooperation with Marco, an artisan ice cream maker. The recipe takes a habit of the "herdsmen" from Verona, who used to prepare a sweet dish with fresh ricotta, sugar and brandy,since they didn't have anything better to eat during their summer stays in the mountains with their cows.
