Un Viaggio attraverso La Sargegna

We're back for the second Italian dinner - this week covering the region of Sardegna.

We begin with beer - Ichnusa served with these Pane Frattau

Burrida
Fried fish dressed with pine nuts and garlic
Served with: 2007 Antonio Argiolas Nuragus Cagliari S'elegas DOC - this wine is made using 100% Nuragus - nurgaus is one of the oldest varieties found in Sardinia.





The Second Course:

Culingiones
Ravioli filled with ricotta, pecorino and chard with tomato
Served with: 2007 Antonio Argiolas Rosé di Sardegna Serralori IGT - the Rosé is a blend of Cannonau, Bovale, Monica and Carignano.

I really enjoyed the use of chard in these ravioli rather than the more usual spinach - they brought a greated depth of flavour to the dish.

Polpette con ricotta e cioccolata
Ricotta and Chocolate dumplings with Tasmania meadow honey
Served with: Antonio Argiolas Grappa di Turriga - this grappa is a blend of Cannonau, Bovale, Carnignano and Malvasia Nero

These dumplings were wonderfully light, sweetness was well restrained and virtually only coming form the drizzle of honey.

The Grappa was especially pleasant, warming yet ultra smooth and an excellent way to end the evening.
