Formaggio al Forno con Tartufo Nero | Baked Cheese with Black Truffles
Every time we visit Pienza, Italy, I make sure to pay a few visits to my favorite little trattoria, Sette di Vino, where we love to sit outside on the charming patio. We always order the melted Pecorino cheese smothered with black truffles and a bottle of Capitoni Frasi, from the Capitoni winery, also located in Pienza. When I am back home, I can recreate my memories by making this recipe and uncorking a great bottle of Frasi, which we now exclusively import to the US! Salute!!
