Travelling with Dolcetto between Dishes Near and Far

Travelling with Dolcetto between dishes near and far DeGustando Ovada - Sunday 26 May 2013 in Ovada (Alessandria)

'True connoisseurs do not drink wine. They taste secrets.' The aphorism is by Salvador Dali, and it sounds like an invitation to discover the hidden soul of the nectar of the hills, in this case those of Ovada. On Sunday 26 May 2013 'DeGustando Ovada' will be held, an event that will celebrate Dolcetto Superiore and Ovada DOCG, excellent wines that will now become 'Wines of the World', accompanying typical dishes near and far. After a guided tasting at the Municipal Wine Shop, reserved for industry operators, from 12.00 at the Palazzo Comunale of Ovada it will be possible to appreciate Dolcetto paired with local specialities such as agnolotti or rabbit in Civet all'Ovada, prepared by Mario and Giovanni Benzo of the Ristorante Bel Soggiorno in Cremolino, but also with distant dishes that will reveal secret sides of the wine's taste, taking us on a journey around the globe.

Cinthia and David Gilbert from the USA will offer, among other things, ethnic delicacies such as 'char siu bau', steamed buns with strips of pork and spices, or 'tulang rusuk babi kopi', grilled ribs, spiced and glazed with coffee.
