Garlic
White wine
2 stalks of celery
3 carrots

What pairs well with veal?

This veal-based main course has a medium texture and medium juiciness. Baking in the oven produces a pleasant, delicate roasted flavour. Corresponding wines should always be well-rounded, packed with flavour, and with a medium structure. Wines based on Pinot noir would be a perfect match, but a S. Maddalena would also be an excellent combination.

Preparation

Step 1

Marinate the veal breast for 24 hours with coarse salt, oil, ground pepper and rosemary.

Step 2

Bake in the oven, turning twice, for two to two and a half hours at 135 °C.

Step 3

Add the celery and carrots and increase the heat to 200 °C. After 15 minutes, pour over the white wine and cook for another 20-25 minutes.
