Ricotta Tart and Prosecco: A Perfect Pairing

Prosecco is one of our favorite Italian wines. While it does not carry the same weight or reputation as the great Italian wines, it does not aim to: it is simple, refreshing, and when made properly, a perfectly delightful wine. Learn more about the wines of the Veneto. Like many sparklers, it pairs well with most foods, from Venice’s famous “cichetti” appetizers, to cheese, pastas, seafood, and of course desserts. And it is also frequently used to make the Veneto’s famed “spritz” cocktails, which you are sure to consume often during a culinary vacation in the Veneto. We offer a lovely 4-night itinerary at an exquisite property in the land where Prosecco is made, at the food of the Alps in the north of the Veneto region. Our partners there shared this delectable recipe for Torta alla ricotta, which pairs wonderfully with a good Prosecco. Try it for your special someone this Valentine’s Day, or for any special occasion.
