Bagna Cauda is a warm sauce made from garlic, oil and anchovies in which to dip raw and cooked vegetables. Special dishes are used to serve it, often standing over a candle to keep the Bagna Cauda constantly warm. It is a typical dish of Piedmont, a region in north west Italy known for its delicious cuisine and exquisite wines.
Barbera d’Alba D.O.C. is a famous wine, produced from an autochthonous varietal characterized by a ruby red colour and purplish reflections. It has an austere bouquet with scents of red fruit, raspberry and plum, which closes on delicate spicy notes. With a taste of intense freshness, its body is rather soft and well balanced. It enhances any dish that has a pronounced juiciness and any sauce. It facilitates the appreciation of aromatic notes or oiliness in the dishes it accompanies.
