White or Rosé wine, but a good Grechetto will be the best choice.

Dish

This is another spring recipe. Fresh garlic you only get in spring. Asparagus you get now more often, but the little, best wild ones, only in spring and this is its season! Pork cheek (guanciale) is always in my fridge. I get into an existential crises if it is missing, same with spring onions as long as they are available.

I fry the spring onions with the guanciale and add fresh garling. the Asparagus are briefly boiled and then mixed under.

Selecting the wine for this dish: I took a Morellino and it fitted very well. I personally associate egg and Lonzino to red wine, but as always wine food pairing is no science At another opportunity I associated this dish w ith a Sangiovese from Podere Marella.

Something really delicate!
Butcher Augusto Pelletti produces something what is nearly a pig carpaccio. Not really a carpaccio it has been just dried in salt for a short time - primo sale - as we in Italy say.

It is very delicate and can never miss in my kitchen, because it has so many ways to be used (Beside to be eaten directly after shopping out of the hands)

Green Asparagus I get in spring. I precooked them, but they need to be crunchy, every Asparagus wrapped with Lonzino.

Olive Oil in a pan. Two eggs upon the wrapped Asparagus. The egg should be just cooked.
