Meat and mushrooms? Yes chef!

Beef and mushrooms

The mushrooms bring back memories of the undergrowth, the first mist that softly nestles on the branches, the moss that overflows from the boulders and incorporates everything it finds. The undeterred and protected mushroom that chooses to grow next to the trunk of a tree, grows healthy and strong there, ready to be harvested.

Mushroom growers can tell incredible stories that revolve around the forest, the undergrowth and the world of mushrooms. Those who choose to bring meat and mushrooms to the table, thanks to the particular scent, choose to recreate the pleasant sensation of peace and well-being that a walk in the woods can give.

The perfect triad, when it comes to autumn cuisine, is represented by mushroom stew and polenta. If you really want to exaggerate, you need to propose a good respectable red wine capable of cleansing the palate and leaving the taste buds dazed.
