PERE MADERNASSA COOKED IN LANGHE DOC NEBBIOLO

The Madernassa pear is a traditional pear variety from the Piedmont region (especially in Roero, Cuneo province), ideal for cooking, particularly in red wine. It has white, crisp and sweet flesh, with a thin yellowish or brownish skin.

In this creation, Chef Davide Palluda cooked it in Langhe DOC Nebbiolo wine, a high-quality, tannic and dry wine, aged in oak barrels, made exclusively from nebbiolo grapes, the varietal of the famous Barolo and Barbaresco wines.

Ingredients: Madernassa pears (86%), water, sugar, Langhe DOC Nebbiolo wine, lemon juice and syrup.

Davide Palluda

A successful Piedmontese chef and a staunch territorialist, Davide Palluda has managed the All'enoteca restaurant, annexed to the headquarters of the Roero Regional Enoteca, since 1995. Study, passion and professionalism: these are the lines that characterise Davide Palluda's educational trajectory and achievements. His culinary culture is the fruit of studies and work experiences between Langhe and Liguria. His solid cultural preparation translates into a personal cuisine with clear purposes, which knows how to speak of the territory without remaining imprisoned in the rhetoric of tradition. A philosophy of taste that finds coherent application also in the transition from restaurant to laboratory: where raw materials, technology and research merge and are subjected to the objective of maintaining the freshness and delicacy of taste and primary aromas.

Langhe and Roero

Langhe and Roero: the two banks of the Tanaro river, an invaluable heritage, a landscape strongly influenced by the presence of vineyards, a culture that ended up shaping the hills. But a careful eye cannot fail to notice the differences: in the Piedmontese dialect, the term Langa indicates the strips of land with gentle profiles, which follow one another, characterising the landscape. The Roero territory is varied, alternating, in rapid succession, the wild beauty of the rocks with the moods of the woods, with the very orderly slopes of vines and peach trees.
