\nOne of the  favorite dishes that we discovered while in Montepulciano was a simple pasta dish known as Pici alla briciole. Pici is the typical pasta made in this region while briciole are bread crumbs. We discovered this dish and got right to the kitchen at one of our favorite stops-\"DSCN6045\"<\/a> Villa Nottola- and prepared and then dined on Pici alla briciole with some wine referred to as Super Tuscan..but always from Montepulciano.
\nIf you want to try a staycation and turn your kitchen into a taste of Montepulciano..grab a bottle of wine from Montepulciano and whip up some of this pici alla briciole..and World pasta Day is only a month away..October 25, 2014..the perfect dish for this day as well…..
