[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Christmas is coming and, like all families, we Cavazzas are beginning to imagine the menus we will have on our feast days. In Italy, tradition has it that on Christmas Eve fish is served and on our table good baccal\u00e0 alla vicentina<\/em><\/strong> (Vicenza-style cod) is a must, accompanied by a glass of\u00a0 Tai Rosso Colli Berici Doc<\/a>, just as the Confraternit\u00e0 del Baccal\u00e0 (Association Promoting Cod) recommends.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]And on Christmas Day? This is a very special day for us! All traditions and family memories come to life on this day. I have unforgettable recollections of grandma Agnese making tagliatelle for the capon broth<\/strong>, rolling out the pasta with a wooden rolling-pin, as only she knew how to do. I can almost smell those scents and see her smile while preparing food in the kitchen.

\nIn particular, at Christmas granddad loved to eat a typical Verona dish called \u201cbollito misto con la pear\u00e0<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>, a mix of boiled meat served with a thick, creamy sauce made with stale bread, broth, ox marrow, oil and lots of black pepper. A divine dish for the end of year festivities! What would I pair it with today? I would pair it with our Fornetto Rosso Veneto IGT 2018<\/a>: the spicy notes of Syrah pair well with the peppery flavoured dish, while Merlot helps to cleanse the palate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Christmas, however, was not a real Christmas if it did not end with two great classic traditions: Panettone with raisins and candied fruits and Mandorlato di Cologna Veneta<\/strong> (a hard nougat made in the town of Cologna Veneta, in the province of Verona), accompanied by our Capitel Recioto di Gambellara Classico DOCG Cavazza<\/a>. A wine, which more than any other, brings to mind my grandmother, her hands that taught us how to braid the Picai<\/a> (hanging grape clusters) onto ropes, her cakes that smelt of almonds, nuances you can smell in a glass of this wine.\u00a0 As we wrote some time ago, infinite sweetness, as are the memories of loved ones who are no longer with us<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n#cavazzawine<\/h3>\n
