Why Bruschetta deserves more attention

Bruschetta rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The deeply savory complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using fresh basil correctly takes real skill.

ingredient simplicity and quality are the guiding principles. I encountered it first in a Sunday ragu lunch and that context helped me understand it properly. Chianti is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Bruschetta is the dish to start with.
