The story
The dish known as "980" is a signature creation of Villa Saletta, a historic estate in the Tuscan region of Italy. Gambero Rosso, the authoritative Italian food and wine guide, recognizes this dish as a highlight of the venue's culinary offerings. The origins of "980" are rooted in the estate's farm-to-table philosophy, utilizing ingredients sourced from its own organic gardens and local producers. Key components often include fresh pasta, wild boar ragù, and a hint of truffle, reflecting the flavors of the surrounding hills. A great version of "980" distinguishes itself through the balance of rich, savory meat sauce with al dente pasta, finished with a grating of aged Pecorino Toscano. Regional variations of the dish may be found in other Tuscan villages, where cooks might substitute the wild boar with Chianina beef or incorporate porcini mushrooms, but Villa Saletta's interpretation remains the definitive reference, as documented by Gambero Rosso.

Villa Saletta is a historic winery in Tuscany with origins dating back to the Etruscans. The estate has passed through noble families to the current English owners, Hands, who are restoring both the vineyards and the medieval borgo for hospitality. The wines reflect the ancient marine soils, giving them pronounced sapidity, and are crafted with methods that highlight the territory. The future includes an expanded wine tourism project.
