Wine Tip
Verdicchio, 2012
The robust nature of this particularly fresh white wine rounds off the intense flavor of the soup, without influencing its aroma. Enjoy this classic from Central Italy between 9 – 11°C/50°F.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F. Quarter shallots. Crush garlic. Remove the stems from the tomatoes and quarter them.
