🍷 Venetian liver and Frank! vintage 2020 🍷

The dish chosen by Erdet, Chef of the Osteria Cae De Oro, is a traditional recipe from the lagoon city with very ancient origins. Its birth seems to date back to ancient Rome, where liver was served with figs to tone down its ferrous aftertaste. The wise Venetians replaced the figs with sio'le (onions), very common in the lagoon, which soon replaced the role of figs in sweetening the dish. The meat used for this recipe is traditionally pork , today often replaced with veal or veal (with a less strong taste than pork liver).

There is no doubt about the onions: the white one from Chioggia is the favorite and only it is able to give the dish that note sweet enough to contrast the strong flavor of the liver.

Finally, the accessory ingredients, which in the Cae De Oro recipe are: clarified butter to fry both the onion and the liver, juniper-flavoured broth to sauté the onion, brandy to deglaze the liver and toasted bread croutons to accompany the dish. The velvety tannins and its balsamic hints make our Frank! 2020 vintage the perfect pairing with the Venetian liver from Osteria Cae De Oro.
