One of the most distinctive and evocative features of a traditional torta pasqualina, Liguria’s popular Eastertide savory pie, is that it was made with 33 layers of pastry, one for each year of Christ’s life.

£26–£26.55, London End Wines, Vinvm, Simply Wines DirectI’m not sure exactly why this gleaming ruby coloured Australian wine is called Noir, but the main grape variety in the blend is Grenache Noir and Yangarra describes the wine as ‘a progressive take on a French classic’. The classic in question is red Châteauneuf-du-Pape, so you can see where they’re coming from with the name.

In the early 2000s, the French were drinking more white wine than rosé. By 2008, however, mainstream media were reporting that sales of rosé had overtaken those of white for the first time. Since then rosé has swept the wine world. The production and consumption of rosé has been increasing worldwide. And styles are inevitably changing. Rosé is serious business and a serious wine. There are now rosés that can be cellared and aged.

£18–£23.40, The Wine Society and independentsThere were so many high points in the recent Wine Society press tasting it’s hard to choose just one wine. I finally settled on this Dolcetto d’Alba because, first of all, it’s a cracking example of a potentially – and in this case definitely – food-friendly style and, secondly, because there aren’t as many textbook Dolcettos (or Dolcetti) as you might think, or at least hope for.

The first recipe for bobotie is said to have been in a Dutch cookery book of 1609 and to have been taken to South Africa later in the century by Dutch traders stopping off at Cape Town on their way to and from Indonesia. No further details of the book are ever given, so who knows whether it is true, but it scarcely matters because, wherever its name first appeared, bobotie soon became quintessentially South African.
