Un Viaggio attraverso L'Umbria

In this third Italian dinner, the theme is the food and wines of Umbria.



We begin with:

Anguille alle Brace
Smoked eel marinated in white wine with bay leaves
2007 Palazzone "Terre Vineate" Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC

The wine is a blend of Grechetto(20%) Procanico (50%) and Verdello, Drupeggo, Malvasia (30%)

It's very interesting how the smoked eel brought out the smoky flavour of the wine.
