WINES
THAT GO WELL WITH BACCALA' ALLA VICENTINA
Everybody knows that all dishes
were generated on the basis of certain economic requirements
of a particular area. But even the way a dish is served,
eaten, the time it is eaten and the drink it is matched
with are, by now, well coded in tradition. There are
good many wines that are best suitable to reduce the
aggressive flavour and the tenderness of baccalà on
our taste buds ....we leave to the gourmet the intelligent
and grounded choice..the tasting - from time to time
- of Vespaiolo from Breganze, with honeycomb gradations,
or even better of Durello, hard with its exclusive
flavour, or red (Tocai) from Barbarano, a ruby red,
by no means strong wine, with a good alcoholic content
and a call of quince. One thing is sure..baccalà wants
a wine that doesn't dominate its own flavour and that
skims the fat, cleans our mouths without removing
those magic taste sensations only baccalà can convey.

| GAMBELLARA (card technique) |
 |
Gambellara, vino bianco asciutto, armonico che ben si abbina a minestre, uova, pesce, antipasti. Giusta acidità, amarognolo; Colore bianco; 10,5 Grad. Vol. |
| VESPAIOLO
(area of Breganze) |
 |
Being
produced only with grapes of the homonymous vine.
Classic wine with rather dark straw-yellow colour,
intensely fruit-scented, exhibiting a slightly
aromatic character; it's flavour is fresh , agreeable,
acid. Just for this reason, it can be drunk very
well on dishes of fish, such as eel, trout and
stockfish, but is also excellent with the dishes
of the local traditional cooking: from cheese
to asparogus and eggs. |
| LESSINI
DURELLO |
|
It
is produced with grapes of an autochthnous vine,
which have been grown since 1200 in the Eastern
Lessini Mountains ( between the provinces of Verona
and Vicenza ) . It is a sourish wine, rather tough,
which a high content of malic acid conveys an
exclusive bright taste that goes well with quite
fat dishes such as Baccalà alla Vicentina, eel,
anchovies, sardines, and mackerel and fresh-water
fish. Thanks to its bright sourness, a peculiar
characteristic of Brunello seems to be its suitability
to become a sparkling wine, both by the classical
method of refermentation in bottle and by the
Charmat method. |
ROSSO DI BARBARANO (TOCAI) |
 |
Being
produced with grapes of a wine growing in limited
areas of the Eastern zone of the Venetian Region.
It 's a bright , transparent, ruby-red wine; being
attractive and curious it represents an anomaly
among the Venetian red wines. It exhibits an intense
and characteristic fig-like scent , and a right
, harmonic taste tending sometimes to be bitterish
. Noble table wine , is excellent either with
roasted meats and poultry and with the typical
Vicenza dish of stockfish. |
