Food Pairing
Brown pigeon breast and leg with Mediterranean scents and soft mashed potatoes
The food pairing for this wine is with this typically Tuscan dish, created by the creative inspiration of Chef Roberto Rossi of the Il Silene Restaurant, * 1 Michelin star in Pescina, a small town, located on Monte Amiata. A place of excellence, capable of gathering all the ancient knowledge of good food, creating a dynamic and captivating cuisine, a perfect combination of the vital energy of modernity and the timeless elegance of tradition. “The intensity of the pigeon meat is supported and enhanced by the extraordinary aromatic mineral component of Prima Pietra 2016 (although still young), giving a surprising complexity and depth.”
