Easter is the ultimate traditional holiday, and all over Italy, hours are spent in the kitchen to honor the table with historic and typical dishes. The Easter lunch, in fact, represents one of the main occasions for family and friends to gather, even though, as happened in 2020, the global pandemic situation continues to inhibit large banquets and group celebrations.

Without a doubt, the Nero di Troia, interpreted in the label Terre del Crifo Nero di Troia Puglia IGP.
