Wine Tip
Rivaner, dry, 2012
The very lightness of Rivaner makes it the perfect partner for this creamy gnocchi dish. The subtle hints of nutmeg in this white wine underscore the delicate mushroom flavor.
Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted, boiling water for approx. 20 – 30 min., according to size. Drain and peel.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Make long rolls out of the dough. Using a knife, cut dough into large pieces approx 1cm x 2cm large. Roll these pieces over a fork to create the traditional gnocchi appearance.
