Recipes for the Whole Year



The fresh mountain air and snow-covered ski slopes are a temptation for many at this time of the year. The mountains of Italy's Trentino Alto Adige region are a splendid location for winter vacations. The sliced meat known as speck is one of the stars of Alto Adige's food tradition, and should be enjoyed together with the excellent wines of the area, with their full and impressive taste, by the fireside in the Alpine huts.
