The First Dinner - Part 1

The first night in our Masseria, the family went to dinner at the sister Masseria, since we would not have the chance to eat over there. There was a great deal of food consumed and it was all quite good and memorable. Some of it was truly impressive and glorious.

This post will first cover some of the antipasti:

Feta Risotto with Ham & a pepper bernaise sauce

Eggplant rolls

Fresh prawns

Frito Misto

Prosciutto with Mozerella

Marinated salmon with a yogurt and lime sauce

The salmon was beautifully salty and very powerful. It had a salmon taste the same way prosciutto has a ham taste and the yogurt sauce was just enough to cool it down.

For wines, we had a Malvasia white, one of the local varietals, that has a pleasant and fresh taste that is good for the sea. It is sort of full like Chardonnay as I recall but with a bit more of a backbone and acidity. The red was an Aglinnico Cantine Cardone 06.

Unfortunately, I was too busy eating and soaking it in to remember to take too many pcitures ... I broke that habit pretty quickly. To give you the idea of the quality, though, here is a picture of the door I saw on the way out ....
