Milano Nights: Risotto Gorgonzola, Pear and Spumante
October 23 at 6:00 PM
$90.00
Milano Nights begins its journey through Northern Italy with a dish that brings together three unmistakably Lombard flavors: creamy Gorgonzola, ripe pear and sparkling wine.
The contrast between the savory richness of blue cheese and the freshness of fruit is a familiar part of Northern Italian cooking. Here, this classic pairing becomes an elegant risotto, with spumante adding brightness and balance.
Live cooking
Watch Chef Olivieri toast the rice, add the sparkling wine and gradually build the risotto before finishing it with Gorgonzola, pear and Parmigiano. The key moment is the final mantecatura, which gives the risotto its glossy, flowing all’onda texture.
Wine pairing
The dish is paired with Conti Riccati Prosecco. The dry bubbles and acidity cut through the creaminess of the Gorgonzola and complement the sweetness of the pear.
