Gelato di Ciliegie
A sweet scoop of cherry ice cream made with a lively red wine. I used ripe and juicy dark organic cherries, red wine with an aroma of berries, and just cream, sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt. The ice cream was velvety and very creamy. Make a day ahead because of the wine added it takes longer to freeze. Feel free to add up to 1/4 cup of red wine. I choose "Podere Cavaga" wine from my friend Eugenio, based in Valcalepio Valley in Italy.

Wash and pit cherries reserve a handful and place the rest in a food processor or a blender. Add all ingredients and blend. Put mixture in an ice cream machine for about 20 minutes. Then add the reserved cherries and freeze.
