This wine, with its intense aromas and smooth texture, is an excellent choice for a wide range of pairings that enhance its characteristics. Its affinity with mature cheeses lies in the strength of the flavors that both bring to the table; cheeses like aged Parmesan, Gouda, or Manchego highlight the wine’s notes of ripe black fruits, vanilla, and coffee.
When it comes to pasta, this wine pairs particularly well with dishes featuring robust sauces, such as a meat ragout, Bolognese, or a creamy mushroom sauce. The wine’s hints of chocolate provide an exquisite contrast to rich sauces, while its acidity helps balance out fatty and spiced flavors.
For red meats, it’s ideal for cuts like ribeye or tenderloin, as the wine’s smoothness and long finish subtly complement the juiciness and depth of flavor in the meat. Grilled or roasted meats enhance the wine’s ripe fruit notes and hints of chocolate and coffee, creating a harmonious and balanced tasting experience.
Ideal service: 17 °C
