1 small rabbit
50 grams dried mushrooms
500 grams chestnuts
300 grams sausage
1 onion
1 carrot
1 stalk celery
3 cups white wine
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
parsley
Cut slits in the skins of the mushrooms and roast in an oven heated to 250° C. (480° F.) for about 20 minutes. Remove the chestnuts from the oven and immediately wrap them in a damp cloth. Leave them for about 10 minutes. This procedure keeps the chestnuts from drying out and makes it easier for the skin to peel away. Peel and set aside.
Put the sausage in a roasting pan, cover the pan and put it, without any condiments, in a moderately heated oven. Cook for 20 minutes in its own fat, which it will expel as it heats up.
Bone the rabbit and cut it in pieces. Heat oil in a pan and fry the rabbit. Add salt and pepper to taste. When the meat has browned on all sides, add the onion, carrot, celery and parsley, all finely chopped. Add the mushrooms after previously softening them in tepid water. Cook over very low heat for about one hour.
Add the sausage and the chestnuts to the pan and continue cooking for about 20 minutes. Arrange the rabbit and sausage in the center of a serving dish and surround it with chestnuts.

Laudato Malbech
Veneto Orientale I.G.T.
Santa Margherita
The color is a dark ruby red with, in the wine’s youth, eggplant shadings. The bouquet is broad but intense with sufficient alcohol to convey all the shadings. The first sensations are the sweet, delicate and never overwhelming scents of wood. Next, the nose discovers the first notes of spices and red-skinned fruit, which close on a warm and potent accent of jam. The complete maturation of the grapes permits the amalgamation of those perceptions in a velvety and well-structured complex. The wine is soft on the palate because of its warm sensations of wild berries. When the wine descends along the sides of the tongue, the tannins, which are sweet and agreeable, lend the wine a vivacious touch. The flavor displays the same spice and fruit evident in the bouquet but woven into a lightly boisé texture that assures overall elegance and equilibrium. The flavour’s notable persistence intrigues the palate, stimulating it with vinous and complex sensations.
