The wine is required
The specification requires Piedmont denomination red wine from Nebbiolo, Barbera or Dolcetto, in a quantity above 0.25% of the mixture’s weight. The meat is ground through an 8–10 mm plate and mixed until the fat has its characteristic elongated structure. Maturation includes warm drying, and its permitted durations depend on the fresh salame’s diameter.
