The story

About the dish

White wine, onions, and beef form the flavor foundation of Cavatappi alla Genovese. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. It lets white wine bring fruit-toned acidity and aromatic lift; onions bring gentle natural sweetness; beef bring full-bodied savory richness.

The Ligurian reference in the dish points to resourceful cooking from the narrow meeting of mountain and sea, with herbs, olives, vegetables and preserved fish. The white wine brings fruit-toned acidity and aromatic lift to the regional story carried by the dish.
