Some information about the Virno that you might be curious about is a mushroom particularly sought after throughout Italy due to the great organoleptic characteristics and incredible versatility.
It accompanies very well the robust local red wines, based on ananic and barbera, and a white and fresh falanghina and can be eaten raw but marinated, scratched on fresh noodles, served with “scrabble” with scrambled eggs or with meat Of lamb, cooked with fresh oil and garlic, dried for a particularly pronounced odor or preserved in oil after scalding in water and vinegar. Some of these preparations will be those you can find in the gastronomic booths in this edition of the Festival of Virni and Asparagus.
