Julie, the wine buyer for our South End shop, discovered this tiny producer of confettura, mostarda and sauces when she visited Vin Italy in 2004. Lo Spaventapasseri is part of the Trimilii group - mostly wine producers who abide by organic principles in their production. The word Spaventapasseri means scarecrow in Italian and the name reflects the rustic agricultural foundation of the business that Simone and Cristina Roveglia have created.
They are located in Piedmont in the region of Asti in the town of Mombaruzzo where their organic ingredients are all grown on their land.
Rosina is a confettura of rosehips grown on Simone and Cristina's farm. The rose hip (Rosa canina) is cooked with sugar and lemon peel to a dark color, thick consistency and a caramelized flavor that is almost savory in its deep, cooked fruit flavor. This is a perfect accompaniment for many cheeses - fresh robiola or chevres with a nice bright acidity or a full-flavored cheese with a nice sharp finish, such as Montgomery's farmhouse cheddar or Cobb Hill's Ascutney Mountain.
