A summer risotto made by chef Rosie MacKean
a superiore match_copertina live

This summery risotto blends the delicate flavour of seasonal courgettes with the distinctive tang and texture of a cheese from our region, Capra in Foglia di Noce. (Goats cheese matured in walnut leaves.) Perfect with aromatic and racy styles of Prosecco Superiore.
