Isabella Vinappeso 1kg

Vinappeso Isabella from Il Vigneto dei Salumi is a true gastronomic miracle, the apotheosis of flavor, a Norcino magic, a divine masterpiece, and we could give it a thousand other compliments.

It is a magical union: the most precious classic cut of the pig (the Culatello, to be precise) with the finest wines of Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto. Essentially, it's a high-quality salami soaked in flavors that are nothing short of celestial.

Vinappeso Isabella: what it is and why it is called that

Vinappeso Isabella is a magnificent mistake. Yes, because Walter Ceradini, the owner of Vigneto dei Salumi, during his early experiments forgot one of these precious pieces of Parma meat in seasoning, causing it to harden and become unsellable. To save it, he decided to soften it with Amarone wine: he wrapped it in a handkerchief and sprinkled its surface.
After a few weeks, he picked up that piece of meat again, and he was particularly struck by the smell. A scent that led him to make numerous trials, until he dipped the salami for about 3 months. Only later, upon retrieving that handkerchief, did Walter realize it was a memory of his mother: a handkerchief he used during school, embroidered with his mother's name: Isabella.
After some experiments and long rests in the cellar (up to 24 months), Walter was illuminated by another idea: a double refinement. Yes, because Vinappeso Isabella is the final result of the second refinement, this time in Recioto wine: a true embrace that sweetens the flavor and diminishes excess salt. The taste is unique: you will realize, if you taste it, that you have never experienced anything like it.

Vinappeso Isabella: the praise of slowness

Vinappeso Isabella is an extraordinary and revolutionary salami, a true praise of slowness since its processing involves a seasoning of 28-30 months and a double refinement in Amarone and Recioto from Valpolicella for 3-4 months (with a predominance of Amarone). A handcrafted masterpiece that doesn't use any chemical additives: just salt and passion, the right humidity level, manual tying, and the use of at least 3 liters of wine between Amarone and Recioto for each 3 kg piece of Vinappeso Isabella.
"In every slice, you can find the entire history and quality of Valpolicella, my family, and my life": these are the words of Walter Ceradini.

Isabella Vinappeso 1kg: use in the kitchen

The Vinappeso Isabella from Il Vigneto dei Salumi is an explosion of flavor and aromas. The aging in wines gives the cured meat notes of toasted hazelnut and wraps it with fragrances of blackberry, underbrush, and licorice. On the palate, it is a true symphony of aromas. Bitter, sweet, savory: a complexity of flavors that will make your heart race!

It is mainly a tasting cured meat, to be savored with mindful slowness. We recommend pairing it with the wines with which it has been aged for a long time, Amarone and Recioto della Valpolicella, with a preference for the latter.

An unfindable excellence

The Vinappeso Isabella is a truly precious cured meat, whose production is necessarily limited to small quantities to safeguard its quality. Its quality has been recognized by great chefs all around the world: it has been chosen, for example, by Gordon Ramsey and Enrico Crippa. We are talking about a product that until now could only be found in fine restaurants. No shop has ever had it.
