WHICH ITALIAN INGREDIENTS ARE IN SEASON DURING SUMMER?

Summertime brings an abundance of ripe fruits, vegetables and bright herbs. Fragrant lemons, tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes, peppers, peas and basil are in season during the summer months, all of which bring excellent flavours to pasta dishes.

WHICH WINES PAIR WELL WITH SUMMER PASTA DISHES?

For light vegetable-based recipes or seafood pasta dishes, we’d recommend a dry white wine from Liguria or a Sardinian Gallura.

WHAT IS A GOOD ITALIAN SUMMER COCKTAIL?

Drink as the Italians do with an iconic Aperol Spritz, or try a Sgroppino, a refreshing concoction of prosecco, vodka and lemon sorbet. Our personal favourite is La Vita e' Bella, a Pugliese cocktail of martini, martini rosso, gin and orange juice.
