A “full Tuscan” menu for a brunch in Florence city centerAs you probably already know Enoteca Alessi is not only a wine and delicatessen shop, but a wine bar as well. You can’t find a better way to try some gorgeous Tuscan food before to bring it back home. And, from the starter to the dessert, you can have a short chain menu with all the richness and variety of the food from Tuscany.Not to mention the wines… A good start: Pecorino and Vernaccia!You can start with an appetizing salad: local lettuce and tomatoes exalted by the extra virgin olive oil from the terroirs of Florence, Siena or Arezzo, and enriched by pinolis, raisins, and a pecorino toscano, the local sheep cheese (the Cugusi Pecorino, for example). Even better if you match this insalata with a refreshing, smoothly dry Vernaccia di San Gimignano.Superior Cold cuts! What’s next? Why not a tagliere dell’Alessi, a cold cuts platters. Again, a whole Made in Tuscany proposal: Soppressata (uncured Salami), Pancetta (Italian Bacon), or Arista (cured pork roast), along with cheese or Crostini and, of course, a full-bodied red wine from the huge Alessi wine list. Cantuccini and Vin Santo...And you will not leave Tuscany for the dessert: the famed Cantuccini di Prato wait for you, along with an interesting choice of dessert wines, such as the Aleatico, the cult wine from Portoferraio, Elba Island, or a Vin Santo (literally: Holy Wine).Gran Finale? Grappa!If you want to close your food experience with something strong and without leaving Tuscany you can go for a Grappa: the Italian pomace brandy. As a great Grappa comes from a great wine, some of the best Italian Grappas are Tuscan: you can imagine the richness of texture for a Sassicaia Grappa…
