#RobertoBorzellinoLinguaitalianaperstranieri. • #Italianfood • #RegionaspecialtiesItaly • Welcome everyone! • In this video series we will learn more about Italy through its regional flavors. • We will start in the Northwest, going to discover the delicacies of Liguria, Piedmont and Lombardy. • Then we will shift our focus to Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Trentino Alto Adige. • LIGURIA • In the Riviera di Ponente we find fresh pesto, the key ingredient of Genovese pesto. • This sauce made from fresh basil is blended with olive oil, garlic, pine nuts and Parmesan cheese to bring out the flavor of the sea. • Another typical dish is Genoese focaccia, which is soft and digestible and perfect for accompanying cured meats and cheeses. • We close with cappon magro, a fish salad made with sole, scampi, hard-boiled eggs and seasonal vegetables, all enhanced with a thin layer of mayonnaise. • For the perfect pairing we recommend Ligurian white wines such as Vermentino and Rossese. • PIEDMONT • In Piedmontese cuisine the best-known dish is bagna cauda, a creamy sauce of anchovies, garlic and olive oil in which to dip raw vegetables. • Typical first courses include agnolotti al plin, stuffed with minced meat, and tajarin all'albese, thin noodles to be dressed with butter and sage. • The king of main courses, however, is braised beef in Barolo, tender beef stewed in the prized Piedmontese wine. • To accompany these specialties there is nothing better than Piedmontese red wines such as Barbera and Nebbiolo. • LOMBARDY • In the land of Lombardy, it is a must to taste risotto alla milanese, with marrow and saffron, which give it a unique color and flavor. • Also not to be missed is the cotoletta alla milanese, a soft breaded and fried slice of veal. • We close with salami brianza, a seasoned sausage with an intense flavor. • As wines we pair franciacortini whites and Valtellina reds. • VENETO • In Venetian cuisine, pasta is the protagonist, such as risotto e bisi, which is made with fresh peas. • Also try fegato alla veneziana, soft veal liver in batter. • Perfect then is the pairing with the inevitable prosecco veneto, the perfect expression of the territory. • FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA • In this region the San Daniele dop prosciutto, with a slightly smoky taste, stands out. • Also worth tasting is Gubana, a Christmas dessert made from leavened sweet dough, with a filling of walnuts, raisins, pine nuts, sugar, grappa and grated lemon zest. • We close with ramandolo, a white wine with an aromatic fragrance. • TRENTINO ALTO ADIGE • First courses from Trentino Alto Adige include strangolapreti, small balls of fresh pasta, and canederli, bread dumplings. • For the perfect pairing we recommend teroldego, an elegant red wine from a local grape variety. • CONCLUSIONS • We have just set off on our tour of Italian culinary delights, stopping in this first installment in the North. • In future episodes we will explore the delights of central and southern Italy. • Subscribe to the channel to be kept up to date on the continuation of this series of travels in Italian regional gastronomy! • The videos in this channel are dedicated to the Italian language and culture.
