Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, especially the riserva, makes a stunning match for the local Tagliata di Manzo: strips of local chianina beef, cooked to perfection, and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The recipe is so simple, it just takes a few minutes to put together. But it’s so good. We’ve included the recipe at the end so you can try it tonight.
Brush the filets with the olive oil and sprinkle with a few leaves of rosemary and a little crushed black pepper. Let the meat sit for 30 minutes.
The Tagliata can be grilled or cooked in a skillet. If you’re grilling, start the grill so it will be good and hot.
Place the meat on the grill or in the skillet to sear it, then lower the temperature and cook it to your liking (rare in Tuscany). Toward the end of the cooking, sprinkle on a little coarse salt.
Cut the meat into slices and drizzle with some fresh olive oil. Delicious!
