Tenuta della Villa Bossi, at an altitude of about 300 metres above sea level, mainly in the vineyards of Sottomonte and Camerata, with southern exposure and on the hillside, there are 9.2 hectares of Sangiovese.
discover the estateTo prepare the calamarata, start with a large clove of garlic, peel it and crush it with the palm of your hand. Then clean the chilli pepper, remove the seeds and chop it finely.
Then wash 400 g of cherry tomatoes, dry them and divide them into 4 parts. Now clean 600 g of squid. First rinse them under running water, then remove the inner part by pulling the head. Remove the white part with the cartilage from the head, remove the eyes and squeeze out the beak in the middle.
Peel off the skin using a paring knife and rinse again before cutting into rings about 2 cm thick. Move to the cooker; bring plenty of water to the boil in a saucepan, add salt and cook the pasta. Then put a saucepan on the heat. Heat the oil with the whole peeled garlic clove and the chopped chilli pepper.
As soon as the bottom is hot, turn up the heat and sear the squid rings. When they are sealed, add half a glass of white wine and wait until the alcohol has completely evaporated. Then remove the garlic, add the cherry tomatoes and 25 g of tomato paste.
Stir in the latter, add salt to taste and then lower the heat, leave to cook for about ten minutes; at the end of cooking, sprinkle with chopped parsley. In the meantime, cook 400 g of calamarata pasta until half cooked.
As soon as the pasta is cooked, take a ladleful of the cooking water and pour it into the frying pan, then drain the calamarata and pour it into the frying pan. Mix for a few moments and add water as needed so that the mixture is liquid but not loose. Finally, beat again, add a dash of oil, salt and black pepper to taste.
