(Dan 9)
Our Barbaresco day was going well. For lunch, we went to Casa Nicolini (Strada Nicolini Basso, 34 Franzione Tre Stelle, Barbaresco). We were originally going to a different restaurant, but because it was All Saints Day (November 1), it was closed just as many other restaurants and shops in the area.
This restaurant had the breath-taking view of vineyards in Barbaresco.
Our time was kind of pushing, so we had a quick lunch. For wine, we had 2010 Azienda Agricola VIGIN, Dolcetto d’Alba.
I had Carpaccio di rolata di con valeriana e aceto balsamico (rolled rabbit carpaccio with lettuce & balsamico)…the rabbit was lean and good. Then, the pasta course was, again, Agnolotti burro e salvia (tiny ravioli with butter and sage sauce).
I was wondering, when I would be able to eat vegetables.
