The morning chill has become severe.
It’s winter, isn’t it?
Today’s Dish
Raw Oysters
Salmon and Mozzarella Salad
Sawara Acqua Pazza
Today, I got large clams from Hokkaido and raw olives from Shodoshima.
My Acqua Pazza is delicious.
1st Cescon Ribolla Gialla NV 1,200 yen
It is a white wine made from 100% Ribolla Gialla, a local grape from northern Italy.
I felt aroma of fresh grapes, natural fruits flavor, pleasant acidity and firm minerality.
The refreshing taste is unique to white wines from northern Italy.
It’s been a long time since I’ve drunk it, but it’s still delicious.
I drank it in no time.
2nd Palazzi Nero D’Avola 2021 1,100 yen
It is a red wine made from 100% Nero d’Avola, a local grape from Sicily in southern Italy.
I felt ripe black berry fruits, mild acidity and mellow tannins.
It is a very well-balanced red wine with a smooth mouthfeel.
I also drank this for the first time in a long time, but it is still delicious.
Today I drank wines from the north and south of Italy.
Both were perfect for the Acqua Pazza.
