It is a salami to keep handy for a snack, for an impromptu dinner and also to deceive the preparation time of the other dishes.

Interesting the combination with Apulian grapes, to try the Primitivo di Manduria CDO with a typically light and spicy aroma, with hints of black pepper and licorice, but also blackberries and mulberry, which caress the palate.
