Food of Choice
ES: When pairing food and wine, it is crucial to preserve the characteristic flavors of each product, discover new ones, and ensure a delightful experience. In our latest creation, we feature wood mushrooms prepared in erbo (boiled butter), known for their richness in fat.
Wine of Match
The tannins and alcohol content of Qvevris Kisi, a traditional Georgian wine, help balance out the richness of the mushrooms, creating a delightful culinary experience, resulting in a dish that is both light and intriguing. This pairing not only enhances the varietal aromas of Kisi but also creates a harmonious and perfect union on the palate.
