Preparation of stuffed mussels
1) Clean the mussels, eliminating the barnacles and incrustations from the valves and pulling away the byssus, the filament that comes out from the side of the mussel. Wash it under the jet of cold water, drain it and put it in a casserole with 1 sprig of parsley, 1/2 clove of garlic, 1/2 glass of wine
2) Cook the mussels over high heat until the shells open. Then drain with a spider, remove the ones still closed and let the others cool.

Kerner
- The Kerner is an aromatic white berry vine whose maturation reaches the beginning of October. The vine produces a vigorous wine that goes very well with our recipe Stuffed mussels. The origin of the Kerner is certain, as this vine was created in Germany in August 1929 by August Herold, crossing the Schiava Grossa and the most famous Riesling. The name derives from Justinius Kerner, a German doctor and poet who dedicated several of his wine poems. Kerner is cultivated in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, in the province of South Tyrol. The alcohol content is 11.5 degrees and should be served at a temperature of 10 – 12 degrees. On the nose, citrus and lemon hints are perceived and on the palate the Kerner expresses its minerality; it is sapid, fresh and juicy with excellent persistence. Generally these wines should be drunk 2 – 3 years after bottling.
