Their Salame di Varzi Dop Cucito wins you over for its aromatic energy (notes of well-aged meat, pleasant hints of fresh spices and garlic, whiffs of cellar and red wine). Its appearance is rustic, a nice slice reveals the presence of peppercorns and wide-grained fat, but in the right quantity. The flavor is intense and persistent, its consistency taut but juicy and soft. Chews superbly.
