Cover the bottom of a casserole with extra virgin olive oil, then add the finely minced shallot. Add a pinch of salt, too, so the shallots will stew without burning, as the salt will extract their moisture.
When the shallots are wilted and golden, add the rice and toast it over medium heat for a few minutes, then pour in the Semillon.
When the wine has been absorbed, gradually add the hot stock or hot water, stirring often and cooking the rice over medium-low heat. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of rice you have chosen. Usually 15 minutes should be enough.
Halfway through the cooking, add the chopped persimmon, then keep on cooking adding more stock.
While the risotto is cooking, brown the pancetta on medium fire in a pan, then turn off the heat and set aside.
When the rice is al dente, remove it from the heat and stir in the grated Parmigiano and fresh goat's cheese. Stir to melt the cheese, the add the browned pancetta with its rendered fat. As some freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
