- aetre - 03-09-2004 hello again: what different kinds of wine come from Alba? rosetto rice, on this cooking show, made me forget the name of the wine that comes from there...anyone have a clue? thanks - Kcwhippet - 03-09-2004 Dolcetto and Barbera are two. - Georgie - 03-09-2004 Slowly I turn...(sorry) - quijote - 03-09-2004 ...step by step... - aetre - 03-09-2004 dolcetto! w00t! and they had recipe for wine sauce using this: portion (3rd bottle maybe) of wine in pan medium-high heat, sugar to take acidity away, 1 bay leaf half-torn, then flour (enough to thicken as a sauce) then they turned up the heat to light it on fire, to get the alcohol out of it, and pour onto whatever (that was a pumpkin/rice concoction) forgive my drivel, thanks for the name though - wineguruchgo - 03-10-2004 Dolcetto translates into "Little Sweet One" although you might be surprised when you try it because it might not be as sweet as the name implies! - Thomas - 03-10-2004 aetre, the dish is risotto (not rosetto). Riso is the word for rice in Italian. More importantly, the color of the sauce that adding red wine gives makes the risotto dish look rather strange to me. Had it in a restaurant once, and won't say what it reminded me of sprawling in a blue/gray--yuch. - Kcwhippet - 03-10-2004 Foodie's got that right. A risotto with red wine in it looks very unappetizing. - Botafogo - 03-10-2004 Hey, Risotto al Barolo con Tartufi is a CLASSIC! |
