A Taste of Tuscan Winter
The air is crisp, the vineyards are sprinkled with a dusting of snow, and the aroma of hearty dishes wafts through the cobbled streets… Winter in Tuscany is a time of culinary magic, where the region’s rich gastronomic traditions shine through.
Let’s set off on a delicious journey through Tuscan Winter cuisine – exploring two traditional dishes to try at home and their seasonal ingredients. If you’re spending the festive season with us at Karma Borgo Di Colleoli, you may even get to savour the real deal!
1. Ribollita: A Hearty Tuscan Classic
Our culinary adventure begins with Ribollita, a Tuscan soup that warms the soul. This thick, hearty soup is a staple during the colder months – a testament to Tuscan resourcefulness, turning humble ingredients into a comforting masterpiece.
