Wine pairing
Its simplicity and fragrance, blended with its slight oiliness, succulence and the slight sweetness provided by the rice, are well-balanced. A dry ruby-red wine with a bouquet of fresh fruit and spices that is not too high in alcohol content and is fairly mellow, rather fresh and low in tannins is a perfect accompaniment.

Chef's Tip
Instead of marrow, using an excellent meat broth is preferred.
