Ingredients:
- 1 free-range chicken (in 8 pieces)
- 1 handful of black olives
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 handful of sage
- 1 handful of sundried tomatoes
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 glass of white wine
- Approximately 0.5 liters of water
What you need:
- Large pan
- Chopping knife
- Cutting board
Method:
- Heat three tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan. Once hot, brown the chicken pieces on both sides.
- Then, add the garlic and sage, allowing them to simmer on high heat for a few minutes. Before the garlic browns, add the wine and let it reduce.
- Now, add the olives and tomato, mixing well. Add water to almost cover the meat. Let it simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat.
- As the liquid reduces, the chicken hunter is ready.
THE SOUL OF THE ITALIAN COUNTRYSIDE: CHICKEN CACCIATORA
If you’re looking for the ultimate Italian comfort food, look no further than Pollo alla Cacciatora. This “Hunter’s Style” chicken is a rustic masterpiece, slow-cooked with succulent tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and just the right amount of woodsy flare. It is a dish that invites you to slow down, savor a piece of crusty bread, and enjoy the simple perfection of traditional Tuscan flavors.
A WINE THAT DEMANDS PATIENCE: VIGN3
To elevate this rustic meal into a true gourmet experience, I have selected the perfect bottle that we produce: Vign3.
This is not your ordinary table wine. Vign3 is a sophisticated, aged blend that shows the best of what Tuscany has to offer: 80% Sangiovese for its classic Italian essence, complemented by 10% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is bold, elegant, and deeply layered.
Note: Due to the careful aging process, Vign3 requires a moment to “wake up” after being corked for so long. To truly enjoy the complexity of the Sangiovese and the structure of the Cabernet, be sure to open the bottle at least 30 minutes before serving. Let it breathe while the kitchen fills with the scent of your simmering chicken. This small act of patience transforms the wine, allowing its full scent to bloom in your glass.
