Perfect Pairings for the Egg Barzotto and Crumble of Salatì
Here are our suggestions for making the most of this delicious recipe:
Recommended Wines: Elegance and Freshness
- Franciacorta Satèn DOCG: Its fine bubbles and silky smoothness marry beautifully with the creaminess of the egg and potato, while its acidity balances the richness of the dish. Slight notes of yeast may recall the savoriness of cookie.
- Pure Chardonnay (non-barrelled): A still white, perhaps from Friuli or Alto Adige, with good structure but without the excessive complexity of wood, enhances the delicacy of the egg and potato, allowing the chives to emerge.
- Pignoletto Frizzante DOCG: An Emilian wine with a distinct freshness and light perlage, with fruity and floral notes that refresh the palate and tie in well with the biscuity savoriness.
Alcoholic Drinks: Cocktails That Impress
- Bloody Mary (with a lighter note of Tabasco): The savory, umami notes of tomato and vodka pair beautifully with egg and potato, and the light spice can recall chives and pepper.
- White Lady: A classic made with gin, Cointreau and lemon juice. Its citrusy freshness and slight bitterness balance the richness of the dish and cleanse the palate, preparing for the next mouthful of crumble.
- Mimosa (with blood orange juice): The sweetness and acidity of blood orange, combined with the effervescence of prosecco, create a festive and refreshing combination that enhances the delicacy of the egg.
Non-alcoholic Drinks: Freshness for All
Even without alcohol, you can create pairings that enhance the recipe.
- Spiced Tomato Juice (alcohol-free): A nonalcoholic version of the Bloody Mary, with the addition of a pinch of black pepper, a sprig of celery, and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce (if liked and for a non-vegan version) to enhance the savoriness of the dish.
- Ginger Ale with Mint and Lime: The pungent note of ginger and the freshness of mint and lime offer a lively and refreshing contrast to the creaminess of the dish and the saltiness of the crumble.
- Iced Green Tea (unsweetened): Its slight astringency and herbaceous notes harmonize well with the chives and overall delicacy of the dish, providing a light and thirst-quenching option.
