Genazzano: Traditional Dishes and Wines<\/h2>\n

During your visit to\u00a0Genazzano<\/strong><\/a>, a small, enchanting village in the Roman countryside, a place of remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, do not miss the opportunity to taste the traditional\u00a0food and wine<\/strong>\u00a0that is brought to the table by the dedicated local producers and farmers.<\/p>\n

Products grown organically<\/strong>, favorable climatic conditions and\u00a0traditions<\/strong>\u00a0that are handed down from generation to generation, translate themselves into dishes that are characterized by original flavors and the purity of their natural organoleptic properties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Wines of Genazzano<\/h3>\n

Starting with the\u00a0wine<\/strong>, one of the leading products of the local economy that has earned the full title of the\u00a0denomination of controlled origin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of fundamental importance is the\u00a0human factor<\/strong>\u00a0linked to the area of production that has given rise to vast\u00a0expanses of naturally worked vineyards<\/strong>\u00a0and the absence of harmful agents to health and the environment. This is the true essence of the Genazzano\u00a0wine producing tradition<\/strong>\u00a0that has obtained numerous and important awards both nationally and internationally, increasing its reputation as a wine town.<\/p>\n

As evidence of the importance of viticulture in this area I would like to point out Genazzano\u2019s annual\u00a0Wine Festival<\/strong>\u00a0which takes place in\u00a0September<\/strong>, during which, awaiting the arrival of winter, three days of celebration are dedicated to red and white wines of Genazzano.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere becomes festive,\u00a0wine cellars throughout town are open to the public,\u00a0<\/strong>and you can\u00a0taste the most delicious dishes<\/strong>\u00a0representing the local culinary traditions, all washed down by the best wines that stand out here for persistence and aroma.<\/p>\n

Genazzano\u2019s white wine<\/strong>\u00a0derives from the union of Malvasia grapes and other white grapes, the result is a straw-colored wine with a fruity aroma and a pleaseant and lively flavor. The\u00a0red wine<\/strong>, on the other hand, instead comes from ciliegiolo variety of grape mixed with other red grapes that give life to a wine that is bright ruby \u200b\u200bred with a fruity fragrance and a strong and fresh flavor.<\/p>\n

To conclude, the third\u00a0d.o.c. wine<\/strong>\u00a0of Genazzano is the\u00a0Cesanese from Olevano Romano<\/strong>, a prized red wine of ancient origin, ruby \u200b\u200bred with violet reflections, full-bodied, soft and fresh.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Things to taste while walking through Genazzano<\/h3>\n

For\u00a0dessert<\/strong>\u00a0lovers, in Genazzano you will have the opportunity to try one of the most delicious delicacies of the confectionery tradition of the region, I’m talking about the\u00a0Barach\u00ece<\/em><\/strong>, the\u00a0shortcrust<\/strong>\u00a0pastry with a heart of organic\u00a0plum jam<\/strong>\u00a0and a special shape, round with crimped edges.<\/p>\n

With the same original recipe of the\u00a0Barach\u00ece<\/em>, the locals also make\u00a0jelly pies<\/strong>\u00a0by cooking the short pastry for a little longer so that it has a firmer consistency than the classic shortcrust. To\u00a0taste\u00a0<\/strong>these delicious baked products belonging to Genazzano\u2019s art of confectionery will be possible by simply\u00a0walking through the streets of the historic center<\/strong>\u00a0and entering one of the many\u00a0bakeries<\/strong>\u00a0that you find along the way<\/p>\n

Another traditional product of the area that you should definitely try is the doughnut made with white wine and anise seeds, commonly called\u00a0Ciambelle di Genazzano<\/em><\/strong>, an official local recipe that belongs to the\u00a0de.co brand<\/strong>\u00a0(of municipal origin). The doughnuts are sublime, a joy for your taste buds. They have an irregular round shape, and they remind us of a sort of incomplete spiral and have the\u00a0consistency of the bread<\/strong>. These\u00a0soft<\/strong>\u00a0treats are easy to sink your teeth into, you can really taste the anise and wine.<\/p>\n

Stock up on these at one of the bakeries you find along the streets in the center of town. But you just never know, while wandering around town, you just might come across\u00a0lovely ladies selling home-grown and homemade aniseed donuts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And it does not end here in terms of donuts because, another tradition in Genazzano, is the\u00a0Cesanese wine donuts<\/strong>, an incredible combination of this local wine and a soft brioches dough covered with white granulated sugar.<\/p>\n

Stop by a bakery or\u00a0 pastry shop on the main road and taste a\u00a0freshly baked one<\/strong>. I guarantee you will struggle to only eat just one … you will eat one after the other easily losing count!<\/p>\n

Things to do in Genazzano<\/h3>\n

You can taste these exquisite products of the\u00a0Roman countryside<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0simply by taking a\u00a0day trip<\/strong>\u00a0from Rome or staying a few days in one of the Bed and Breakfasts or farms belonging to the\u00a0Italy Where Else<\/strong>\u00a0circuit. The advantage of choosing this second option is that you can\u00a0take part in a fun\u00a0cooking class<\/a><\/strong>, where you can learn to prepare the culinary delights of the Roman countryside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
