Bruschetta from the Po Valley


6 thick slices of bread (preferably Tuscan bread)

3-4 oz. new Reggiano Parmesan cheese

balsamic vinegar (to taste)

1 tbs. extra virgin olive oil

a clove of garlic

salt 


Toast the bread over a flame, making sure that only the outside is toasted and the inside remains soft. While the slices are still warm, rub the garlic on one side (more or less vigorously, according to personal preference), sprinkle with a little salt, and then lay thin slices of Reggiano parmesan on the bread. Sprinkle balsamic vinegar on each piece, slowly count up to twenty and then sprinkle with olive oil. To guarantee the success of this recipe, it is necessary to season the bread while still warm.

Wine recommendation: Tavernelle Cabernet Sauvignon Villa Banfi
