Porcini risotto – with truffle & Parmesan

Creamy Carnaroli, earthy porcini, a hint of fresh truffle: a dish of calm depth that gives a stage both to the dark fruit of the Gigue and to the mineral clarity of the Louré.

Porcini risotto – with truffle & Parmesan

Preparation

Prepare the porcini

Clean the porcini and cut into slices. Sear vigorously in olive oil over high heat until they take on colour. Season with salt and set aside.

Risotto base

Sweat the shallot in half the butter until translucent. Add the rice and stir for 2–3 minutes until glossy, then deglaze with the vermouth and let it evaporate.

Stock, ladle by ladle

Add the hot vegetable stock a ladle at a time and let it reduce while stirring. After about 18 minutes the rice is creamy and still has bite. Fold in the porcini.

Mantecatura & truffle

Remove from the heat, beat in the remaining cold butter and the Parmesan vigorously until the risotto ripples creamily. Season with salt and pepper, serve with parsley and freshly shaved truffle.


Why this wine?

The lively, dark fruit of the Gigue meets the earthiness of the porcini and the spice of the truffle without overlaying the creamy risotto — line rather than force.
