Delicate tortelli are filled with 40-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano from Caseificio Oratorio San Giorgio, giving the dish a deep, concentrated savoury character. Vermouth brings aromatic complexity and gentle sweetness, while artemisia adds a fresh herbal note. Together, the elements create a refined expression of Parmigiano Reggiano, balancing its mature intensity with subtle botanical flavours.
