Nettle Risotto

With a strong flavor and unmistakable aroma, Cascina Alberona’s Risotto with Nettle is an original proposal full of character. Perfect to be enjoyed with a glass of rosé – like a Pinot Rouge from Valle d’Aosta – it reveals all its creaminess if, during creaming, a spoonful of soft stracchino cheese is added. A dish that surprises for its intensity and delicacy, ideal for those who love the flavors of nature.

Classic Carnaroli Rice (91%), granular vegetable broth (salt, potato starch and maltodextrin, dehydrated vegetables (carrot, celery, parsley), sunflower oil, natural flavors, spices), nettle* (2%), rice flour.
