Black, White and Green

Black, White and Green
Truffled egg white tagliolini with marjoram and lime gelato. A triumph of flavours to greet the summer and welcome autumn. The persistent aroma of the truffle accompanied by the decisive tones of egg and Parmesan are balanced by the acidic and aromatic taste of a marjoram and lime gelato.

THE INGREDIENTS

BLACK TRUFFLE

Truffles are hypogeal mushrooms that grow spontaneously in the ground on the roots of some trees like oaks, evergreen oaks and sessile oaks.
A precious and expensive food, it consists of a high percentage of water, fibres and mineral salts, organic substances supplied by the tree with which it lives in symbiosis.
The truffle is composed of an outer wall called peridium, sometimes smooth and other times wrinkled, depending on the species and the soil in which it grows, and it has a fleshy mass of light colour, called gleba.
Its typical penetrating and persistent scent develops as it matures and serves to attract wild animals to spread the spores and perpetuate the species.
It is cholesterol-free and rich in magnesium

TIP FROM THE SOMMELIER

Liliana Savioli – Sommelier, taster, instructor, journalist Erbaluce di Caluso 60-month classic method on the lees

Erbaluce knows how to express its personality regardless of the vinification adopted, and its versatility leads to the production of a classic vintage with a unique character.
Greenish reflections, bright in colour. Very fine and persistent perlage. Crust of bread and butter at the beginning, but then it immediately opens to the hydrocarbon and green aromas of Erbaluce. In the mouth, the bubbles are creamy and enveloping, closing at the end with hints of tang and acid.
