Butternut squash is the key word for this exquisite risotto, one of the delicious specialities of Mantua, prepared according to the traditional recipe, with natural ingredients and flavors.

Useful tips: combine it with butter and two slices of crumbled smoked salmon.

Wine-paring: Traminer Aromatico DOC or any other medium bodied white wine.

Ingredients: Carnaroli rice, butternut squash, natural aromatic herbs, salt.
