Advice
Before you cut the meatloaf into slices, we recommend that you let it rest for at least ten minutes: this way the meat doesn’t crumble when cutting and you get perfect, intact slices.

For a richer and tastier taste, you can opt for mixed ground beef and pork. If you love white meat, you can try a chicken or turkey meatloaf enriched with spices and chopped aromatic herbs.

If you wish, you can choose red wine instead of the white wine used for cooking: more full-bodied and with distinct aromatic notes.

Storage
The meatloaf can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 days.
