Crafted for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine, this Artisanal Italian Pasta Gift Set brings Liguria to your table, pairing a rare coastal white wine with bronze-extruded Calamarata and a jar of classic Pesto Genovese for an unforgettable dinner.

At the center of this collection is the 2024 Bisson “U Pastine” Bianchetta Genovese (750 ml). It is a Portofino DOC white made from 100% Bianchetta Genovese, a rare native grape found primarily in Liguria. It comes from an estate-grown vineyard farmed with biodynamic practices. Bisson is known for reviving traditional Ligurian varieties, and the name “U Pastine” is local dialect for something special. In the glass, expect citrus zest, green apple, white peach, Mediterranean herbs, and a touch of sea spray, with crisp, energetic acidity and a saline, mineral-driven finish with a lift of citrus. At 12.5% alcohol, it is fresh and food-friendly. Serve chilled at 46 to 50°F.

To bring the wine to the table, the set includes:

  • Adoro Calamarata Pasta (500 g): Made from Italian semolina, bronze-drawn and slowly dried at low temperatures. Its large ring shape, which resembles squid rings, and its rough surface hold sauce beautifully.
  • Premium Pesto Genovese (180 g): Liguria’s most famous sauce, made with fragrant Genovese basil, aged Italian cheeses, pine nuts, and extra virgin olive oil.
  • Recipe Card: Calamarata with Pesto Genovese, shrimps and cherry tomato, a simple Ligurian-style preparation with a Sicilian touch, with step-by-step instructions to turn the pasta and pesto into a finished dinner in about 15 minutes.

Tasting Experience: The wine’s citrus and saline minerality echo the basil and cut through the olive oil and cheese, so each sip and bite brings out something new in the other. Packaged together, this set makes an ideal holiday gift for food lovers, corporate clients, or an elevated weeknight dinner for two to four.
