Peas and Pancetta for Your Roman “Feaster”

Gianluca Rottura has a life-long relationship with Italian food and wine. He grew up in the restaurant industry in New York City and on family farms in Italy, then became infatuated by wine. Since 1997, his wine store, <a href="https://www.invinoveritas.nyc/">In Vino Veritas</a>, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, has specialized in smaller, most family-owned wineries. His first book, <a href="https://appetitomagazine.com/gianluca-rottura/#customerReviews">Wine Made Easy</a>, written over 20 years ago and recently updated, is an accessible and fun way to learn about wine. His second book,<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wine-Made-Easy-Gianluca-Rottura/dp/0578591618/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1680544817&amp;refinements=p_27%3AGianluca+Rottura&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-2&amp;text=Gianluca+Rottura"> Mà, What Are You Cooking?</a> is an extensive food guide of 120 recipes with wine-matching suggestions, while also serving as a love letter to the author’s mother, family, and culture.
As our in-house wine guru, his contributions focus on the regional wines of Italy.

What Wine To Drink With Your Easter Meal, from Appetito’s Vino Expert

Krista Zangari is a passionate Italian-American artist, content creator, and the vibrant force behind &#8220;2 Italy We Go.&#8221; Inspired by her first trip to Italy in 2018, Krista realized that much of the Italian-American content she encountered focused on clichés rather than the rich, authentic heritage of Italy. Through her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/2italywego/">Instagram </a>account and collaborations with Appetito magazine, Krista brings to life the genuine flavors, history, and artistry of Italian culture, while also celebrating her Italian-American roots. In addition to her artistic endeavors, Krista dedicates her time to uncovering and sharing authentic Italian flavors and experiences in New York City, bringing the heart of Italy to the Big Apple, one post at a time.
