Here at Vecchia Sorni, we try to inject some of that vitality into our menu, which we enrich every day with the shoots from the woods, roots, flowers and wild herbs and all those delicious berries. All you need to do is take a walk in the right places – and we know lots of them – to come across wild garlic, dandelions, elderflowers, nettles and hop shoots, or drop in on the local farmer for precious, delicious asparagus, all of which we used to cook tasty seasonal dishes. Perché è il risveglio della natura dopo la lunga pausa invernale, dove tutto rinasce e fiorisce in un’esplosione di colori e profumi.
Una vitalità che noi, alla Vecchia Sorni, cerchiamo di riproporre nel nostro menù, arricchendolo giorno dopo giorno dei germogli del bosco, di radici, fiori ed erbe selvatiche e degli immancabili piccoli frutti.
Basta una passeggiata nei posti giusti – e noi ne conosciamo davvero tanti – per fare incetta di aglio orsino, tarassaco, fiori di sambuco, ortiche, bruscandoli, o passare dal nostro contadino di fiducia per i preziosi e prelibati asparagi, con cui dar vita a gustose ricette di stagione.
Dandelion leaves with a lobster and marinated egg salad, a salad of white asparagus with egg sauce and gently browned speck, or char ravioli with agretti and elderflowers. And of course, who could forget risotto? In this case, with white asparagus and hop shoots breast of guinea fowl with white asparagus, mashed potatoes and a sauce made with Nosiola wine , or lamb ribs in a crust of aromatic herbs with artichoke sauce and a purée of wild garlic. Our guests are also spoiled for choice with our desserts, such as our cream of pistachio tart with raspberry jelly or a salad of rhubarb from our orchard with strawberries and wheat flower ice cream. So, what are you waiting for? Pay us a visit!
