Risotto with white wine and parmesan is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the delicate texture of rice with the rich aroma of wine and the creaminess of parmesan. It originated in Italy and has become a symbol of refined gastronomy. Preparation requires patience: the rice slowly absorbs meat broth, while dry white wine adds a slight acidity and depth of flavor. Onions sautéed in butter add sweetness, and the final touch is parmesan, creating a velvety consistency. This dish pairs perfectly with a glass of white wine and fresh herbs, offering a tender, harmonious taste. Risotto can be served as a main course or accompanied by a light salad, making the meal truly sophisticated.
