Sangiovese:

The best wines from this noble grape come from Tuscany, particularly in the Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti districts, although it is gaining in popularity in California. Sangiovese grapes make wine that is medium to high in acidity and firm in tannin; the wines can be light to full-bodied depending on where the grapes are grown. The aromas and flavors are fruity, often of a cherry-like quality. Hints of violets or a nutty character can also be present.

Corn Risotto

Rated

Ingredients

3 cup corn kernal, cut from 3 - 4 ears fresh corn
1 scallion or scallion, peeled and minced
8 tbsp butter
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
12 shiitake mushroom, sliced
1/2 cup shelled fresh peas
salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200°. Sauté corn and scallions or shallots in 4 tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup stock, increase heat to medium-high, and reduce liquid quickly until mixture thickens. Add cream and stir occasionally, reducing liquid again until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.

Pulse corn mixture once or twice in a food processor to release flavors. The kernels should be broken but not puréed smooth. Put corn mixture in an oven-proof serving dish, cover with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven.

Sauté mushrooms in remaining 4 tbsp. butter in a medium skillet over high heat. Add peas and remaining 1/2 cup stock and reduce the liquid until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Fold mushroom mixture into corn. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
