Useful Suggestions
In all Mantua area, the good rule requires 1 eggs per person, as in the past people used to work on farming and needed a high energy intake.
Lambrusco, the wine we suggest for pairing, is often combined with broth and drunk as an aperitif.
Suggested Wine
The wine pairing we suggest is Lambrusco, or Barbera and Gutturnio in their fizzy version: all of them match very well not only with broth but with tagliolini too.
