On my first trip to Italy with my husband Stephen, we stayed at the Hotel Danieli in magical Venice. It was unforgettable. We arrived famished after a very long haul to get there. Our first stop was at the gorgeous and charming Bar Dondola, just off the lobby. The server brought over a three-tiered caddy filled with “Cicchetti,” the Venetian word for snacks. One of the Venetian snack offerings was some very simple yet savory prosciutto-wrapped grissini. This is the perfect no fuss, no mess pre-dinner treat to serve with a glass of Poggio Grande Piano, a 100% Sangiovese from Tuscany.

Ingredients
10 Italian Breadsticks
10 Slices of Imported Italian Prosciutto, very thinly sliced
Directions
Break the breadsticks into whatever size you prefer. I break mine into 4" because I use the tall, thick grissini.
Wrap the prosciutto around each stick. You will need to cut the prosciutto to your desired length, depending on the size of your breadstick.
Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately.
