The zeppole di San Giuseppe are filled with custard or ricotta cream The Feast of San Giuseppe is celebrated every year on March 19, and is also known as Festa del Papá, father's day in Italy. The feast day celebrates Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary. But it also means one thing for Italian American bakeries: zeppole di San Giuseppe.
Today is the Feast of St. Joseph.
Saint-Joseph is also an historic Northern Rhone appellation named from a vineyard in the area that bore that name. Syrah is the only permitted red grape.
Zeppole and sfingi are traditional St. Joseph's Day Italian pastries. I am pairing them each with the day, but not each othet. The #wine is from Francois Villard. Beautiful, balanced, with plenty of fruit and structure, a touch of earth and game and plenty of poivre. #stjosephsday
