\nOne of my favorite dishes I learned about while in Montepulciano was a simple pasta dish known as Pici alla briciole. Pici is the typical pasta made in this region while briciole<\/strong><\/em> is the Italian word for bread crumbs<\/strong><\/em>. Wow..I was able to make this dish at one of my  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 a little over a month away..in October 2018..the perfect dish for this day as well…..<\/p>\n
