The story

About the dish

Risotto ai Porcini is anchored by porcini mushrooms, Carnaroli rice, white wine, and parsley. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. In the dish, porcini mushrooms set a woodsy, deeply savory note against a mellow grain character that carries the surrounding flavors from Carnaroli rice and fruit-toned acidity and aromatic lift from white wine.

It is a reminder that northern Italy’s grain traditions extend well beyond pasta: rice and polenta are central to the cooking of the plains and Alpine foothills.
