La Palazzola, a winery far from the umbrian wine beaten path to visit again to try more.
Interested in 3 sweet ones:
Occhio di pernice, Vino da uve muffate, Vino da uve ghiacciate.

Situata a pochi chilometri da Terni, a Vascigliano, località del piccolo comune di Stroncone, l’azienda La Palazzola prende il nome dalla collina capeggiata da rovine di una antica torre medievale. Stefano Grilli ha ereditato l’azienda di famiglia, fondata nel 1922, in una zona non particolarme...

Some pics from The cooking class I leaded yesterday at Podere Masale for Verde Italia.
Even if the classes I provide are focused on Pasta making, I love putting a special attention on wine pairing discovering and promoting local Wineries.
This year it has been La Palazzola, a winery between Terni, Narni and Stroncone that won several wine awards and uses Metodo Classico for its Spumante.
Something not so common here in Umbria.
Beside Pasta we made The Spring Cake based on strawberries, custard, ladyfingers and Alchermes.
