Most scientific research denies its existence, and to this day there is no concrete evidence to support it, but aphrodisiac food remains a co-protagonist of the Valentine’s period, and not only.<\/p>\n

History has a different opinion: over the centuries, some of the most appealing ingredients have been considered as explicitly aphrodisiacs. Like almost magic or divine.<\/p>\n

Some of these because of their characteristic shape; others for an unusual aroma or texture. Certain “foods of love” were said to raise the body temperature, while others irritated the lips making them swollen and ready to kiss.<\/p>\n

In a mix of myth and hope, today science allows us to say only one thing with certainty: whether or not these foods are able to disinhibit us, it doesn’t hurt to try them. On the contrary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many of the ingredients that we usually call aphrodisiacs have an important nutritional content, whether it’s an energy boost for a sleepless night or an increase of the blood flow; in short: believe it or not, the choice is up to you.<\/p>\n

In any case here’s a custom-made menu for your romantic night. And to complete the circle and make everything perfect, each dish is paired with a great Langhe wine, purchasable on ShopLanghe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The aperitif<\/h2>\n

The atmosphere is just right (romantic and soft lighted) and you and your partner – who from now on I’ll refer to as Daisy – are enjoying an aperitif on the couch.<\/p>\n

You’ve invited her over to make her fall for you, or to remind her why she already has.<\/p>\n

The bottle of Favorita<\/a> that was patiently waiting in the fridge get’s uncorked by magic, and pours itself in two wine glasses.<\/p>\n

This white wine, with a bitter aftertaste and strong floral notes, was given to homage the favorites of the House of Savoy by the feudal lords of Roero. It is your job to make sure that Daisy knows.<\/p>\n

And what better match if not the queens of courtship? A plate of oysters leaves the kitchen, on ice, with lemon slices. Let the games begin.<\/p>\n

Here are my suggestions for the right Favorita:<\/p>\n
