Luca Dusi is from Verona, and is a wine expert. He has his own wine bar called Passione Vino in Shoreditch in London, UK, and imports Italian wines. As well as being a loving dad and food lover, his own mum is one of our Pasta Grannies! You can watch Luca's mum, Angelina, in action here making papparelle: https://youtu.be/lRhOixYnMZw?si=ZxyUUF43gRpEwqzm which we actually chose not to recreate this episode, as chicken livers aren't for everyone!

Luca eventually settled on making bigoli con salsa, a simple but delicious pasta using anchovies for the sauce. Luca brought a delicious white wine with him to perfectly paired with the pasta dish, called Maso Furli - sunshine in a bottle! Luca discusses with Vicky how to pair wine with food, and they chat about how to know when your wine is corked. Listen to become a wine expert yourself!
