The wheels were singing, the road leads to Kuopio\u2026 Everyone knows the Flying Kalakukko. But is this kalakukko flying, or is the plump bird perhaps sitting on the terrace with a nice ros\u00e9? <\/h2>\n\n

Well, there it sits! In its glass, the bird naturally has Monte dos Amigos Ros\u00e9, which suits summer like a glove. You can conveniently get it in a regular size<\/strong><\/a> and as a half bottle<\/strong><\/a>, whether you need a couple of glasses or more for several people. Choose yours! <\/p>\n\n

Monte dos Amigos Ros\u00e9 is all about friendship wine, and it’s wonderfully pleasant to enjoy in the company of both new and old friends. It’s a low-threshold tasty ros\u00e9 that’s incredibly easy to like. <\/p>\n\n

Why, you ask? The trick is that Monte dos Amigos Ros\u00e9 isn’t completely dry, but has just enough sweetness that many different wine lovers take to it easily. The step is at the right height for those coming from both the dry and sweet wine camps. You’d probably like it too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides being excellent wines for the terrace and picnic, ros\u00e9s are typically suitable companions for many kinds of food. They also complement dishes for which white wine or red wine aren’t quite the perfect choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With kalakukko, the versatile Monte dos Amigos Ros\u00e9 is indeed a great match, as it handles the fish, rye dough, and even the pork that kalakukko typically contains with ease. Three birds with one stone \u2013 or however that goes. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

Kalakukko baked in a rye crust is especially known for its version filled with vendace, but there are a few other options available too. The kukko can also be made with perch or with a rutabaga filling, making it typical Karelian food. Whichever kukko you choose, congratulations \u2013 you’ve made a delicious decision! <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

While the kalakukko is baking in the oven, it’s actually a great time to get acquainted with the day’s wine selection and check by tasting that it’s definitely in good shape! It looks promising already from the color, and well chilled, the drink is at its freshest. So remember to let the wine rest in the cold for a moment before serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kalakukko might even get excited and “sing” in the oven, as easily happens when its rye crust cracks. Now that’s a party! <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once Monte dos Amigos Ros\u00e9 has been confirmed as an excellently tasty wine and the steaming kalakukko is ready, be sure to set butter on the table as well. It’ll make the kukko even more succulent! <\/p>\n\n

In the Savonian way, you naturally first cut the “hat” off the kukko, after which the plate is loaded with crust and fish filling. Add a generous dollop of butter on top, and the delicacy is ready to serve. And on the side, of course, a glass of cold and fresh ros\u00e9. Done! <\/p>\n\n

Enjoy your meal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
