How to pair wine with autumn dishes

Wine is the undisputed star of the month of November.

Leggi Post

Vino novella (new, young wine) is the undisputed star of November: young, fresh, and fragrant, it represents the very first fruit of the harvest. It’s the perfect companion for typical autumn dishes, a season when the table fills with intense aromas and comforting flavors.

 

Perfect Pairings with Autumn Dishes

The secret to bringing out the best in vino novello is to pair it with simple, rustic, and seasonal dishes.

 

Appetizers: perfect with mild cured meats such as coppa or salami, mushroom bruschetta, crostini with chicken liver pâté, or fresh cheeses.

First courses: pairs beautifully with porcini mushroom risottos, pasta with white ragù, or pumpkin-based dishes that highlight its softness.

Main courses: excellent with roasted white meats, sausages, boiled meats, or light game dishes.

Cheeses and sides: great with medium-aged cheeses and oven-roasted vegetables such as pumpkin, chestnuts, or radicchio.

Desserts: surprisingly good with red fruit tarts or castagnaccio (a traditional chestnut cake), thanks to its fruity flavor.

 

A Toast to the Season

Vino novello is a celebration of togetherness and of nature as it changes colors. It’s the perfect wine for an evening with friends, perhaps by the fireplace, accompanied by dishes that tell the story of autumn in all its authenticity.

 

Don’t miss our next event, Cantine Aperte a San Martino, which will take place on November 9 at 4:00 PM at La Cantina of Palazzo di Varignana’s agricultural estate, where you can taste freshly made wine.

 

It’s the moment when fresh, young flavors come alive in a glass.
