“Stories of the Future” is the initiative by the Irpinia Sannio Chamber of Commerce, promoted on the occasion of this year’s Vinitaly and aimed at promoting the small businesses of this wonderful area, which represent wine-making excellence.
In this regard, I prepared rosé strawberries, sweet strawberries flavored with mint and lemon balm and enriched with Aglianico del Taburno Rosato DOCG, a fresh and delicate still wine, with the aroma of small red fruits, which perfectly harmonizes with the strawberries.
It’s an “adults only” dessert, to be enjoyed cold and served in glasses… so once you’ve finished the strawberries, you can also sip the last drop of Aglianico.

Steps
Preparing rosé strawberries is really easy!
First, wash the strawberries and then remove the stem with the help of a small knife. Slice the strawberries and place them in a bowl.
Add the sugar, lemon juice, Aglianico del Taburno Rosato and mix. Also add the mint and lemon balm leaves, previously washed and dried. You can cut the larger leaves in half or into strips.
Mix everything well again, cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for at least an hour.
Serve your rosé strawberries in small bowls or glasses.
Tips
If you don’t have both mint and lemon balm, you can use just one of the two.
