Little potato pillows from heaven… that is what our son calls Gnocchi.
With plenty of fresh produce making the rounds at farmers markets, we happend upon a creative and exceptional dish to make use of the beautiful pea shoots and garlic scapes we were given.
This is one plate of gnocchi that is sure to please the most discerning palate!
Now it is important to note that this dish contains an item known to be a notorious ‘wine pairing killer’ – Asparagus. There are very few wines that work well with Asparagus, however it is a perfect match for Roero Arneis – a grape native to Northern Italy. The best of the best, and most historically significant Arneis is produced by Vietti.
For your perfect pairing, and to taste a glass of history, we recommend Vietti Roero Arneis.
