Description

Pappardelle with Duck is a Venetian dish, and the first choice is a local wine.

Aromatic herbs such native bay leaf and sage balance the "gamey" flavors of the wild duck.

Often is duck ragù "in bianco", it means without tomato sauce, but with a glass of red wine to caramelize the meat.

Pappardelle with duck's perfect match is a medium to full bodied red wine with plenty of fruit aromas.
