Salsiccia di Verduno

Hailing from the municipality of Verduno, salsiccia di Verduno is a traditional sausage made from a well-balanced mix of lean veal and pork belly that are finely ground and seasoned with salt, pepper, and a variety of spices. The combination is traditionally enhanced with the addition of Pelaverga wine, a local variety of red wine, and the sausage mixture is then typically placed into natural casings. This meat specialty is often enjoyed raw or as part of a variety of Italian specialties such as ragù, a meat-based sauce.
