A clean, essential, paradisiacal dessert. Composed of two elements: the Moscatel wine gelatin and the fraises des bois, hand-picked and intensely perfumed. That is all. Gianpiero Vivalda and his father, Renzo, have chosen an exemplary path summed up in a few words: absolute quality devoid of superfluous elements. Over the years the Vivalda family has succeeded in transforming a simple small town trattoria into one of the best tables in Piedmont. When the fraises des bois are out of season, the dish is served with citrus fruits or berries.
