At Fà a Mód in Modena, indulge in a quintessential Emilia-Romagna experience with a tasting of gnocco fritto paired with thinly sliced Prosciutto di Parma and a glass of sparkling Lambrusco wine. The golden, airy fried dough serves as the perfect vessel for the rich, savory flavors of the cured ham, creating a harmony of textures and tastes. Lambrusco, with its effervescent and slightly fruity profile, balances the richness of the dish beautifully. This delightful combination offers an authentic taste of Modena’s culinary heritage in a warm and welcoming atmosphere
