Manicardi Botticella Oro IGP is a classic balsamic vinegar made in the traditional Modena style. Aged in casks made from chestnut, cherry, juniper, mulberry and oak wood, creating a rich and harmonious flavor as it ages. A high content of cooked must gives this balsamic a sweet flavor which makes it ideal for pairing with strawberries, aged parmigiano Reggiano, roasted meats, ice cream and sorbets.

fresh rigatoni pasta

Rigatoni, which comes from the word “rigato” meaning ridged, are short, wide tubes of pasta that have ridges on the outside, but are smooth on the inside. Rigatoni are perfect for big chunkier sauces as their ridges and wide center help capture the sauce perfectly.
We love them with our 'norma' sauce or the white mushroom ragu

Pappardelle are large, very broad, flat pasta, similar to wide fettuccine, with fluted edges originating from the region of Tuscany.
