Star-rated matches: chef Angelo Sabatelli’s recipe is an eulogy to the garden in spring. And it does match with the Chakra!

The star-rated chef Angelo Sabatelli, which is patron of a restaurant in Putignano that brings his name, has published one of his recipes for a first spring course on the “Guida ai sapori e ai piaceri della Puglia-edizione 2018”, with season vegetables, shrimps and an outstanding match. His advice? Bring a bottle of Chakra Rosato wine by Giovanni Aiello to the table! A perfect combination, a wine that fits perfectly with the beautiful season.

The result is surprising. We assure that!
