This week's special dish at Giannino in San Lorenzo is, of course, our Pappardelle Alla Chiantigiana!
Pappardelle is a special type of pasta: very broad and flat noodles, similar to fettuccine if you want. It can be made fresh, with eggs or dried up. It originates from Tuscany and it’s usually served with a nice high-quality rustic ragout, hence our recipe “alla Chiantigiana” which means made the Chianti way. Chianti is a region in Tuscany famous for the wines mainly, but also for many other delicacies such as our fantastic ragù (sauce).
We explained the process of making our Pappardelle Alla Chiantigiana but what is the best wine to go with it? Here at our restaurant in Florence, we have chosen the Chianti Classico Santedame from the Santedame Ruffino estate. This vineyard is located in the Chianti's Golden Basin, Conca d’Oro. The region is known for having low yields of grapes, this makes the wine very concentrated and with a very interesting minerals content.
