Autumn has arrived like a painter to paint the landscape, turning every shade of green into an explosion of warm colors and enveloping atmospheres!
In this season of change, as the days grow shorter, nature shines with golden light, inviting us to slow down and enjoy every moment, we find inner stability in the warmth of autumn dishes. We therefore propose 2 recipes to pair with our Novello PIWI 2023, to give you a moment of nostalgia and reassurance.
On the occasion of the Feast of Novello, our Chef Giacomo has prepared two heart-healthy dishes! Let's discover his recipes together!

Wine pairing: Novello IGT Veneto without added sulfites - new vintage 2023
A wine of tradition that marries innovation: it is, in fact, produced from Piwi vines, which are naturally resistant to the fungal diseases typical of vines and thus represent another step toward sustainability.
This wine, an emblem of tradition, becomes the ideal companion for convivial moments during autumn thanks to its smooth and harmonious flavor, in which hints of violets and red berry fruits such as blueberry, currant and blackberry prevail.
The dishes offered by our chef, served hot, will have an extra edge when paired with the Novello PIWI 2023, an autumn wine par excellence since it is the first wine to be drunk immediately after the harvest.
