<\/figure>\n\nThe Basic Rule: the Sauce is the Star<\/h2>\n\n
In Italian cooking, the pasta shape is the canvas, but the sauce sets the rules for pairing. To find the right wine, look at three elements: acidity, fat content and the protein in the sauce. <\/p>\n\n
Lasagna al Rag\u00f9 and Chianti: a Timeless Classic<\/h3>\n\n
Lasagna al rag\u00f9 is one of the most structured dishes in Italian tradition: layers of delicate pasta, rich b\u00e9chamel and a flavourful meat rag\u00f9. It calls for a wine with real character. <\/p>\n\n
Our pick<\/strong>: Chianti Superiore DOCG “La Leccia” 2022<\/p>\n\n A medium-bodied Sangiovese is the ideal partner for pasta al rag\u00f9. Its natural acidity cuts through the richness of the b\u00e9chamel, while notes of red cherry and earthy spice mirror the herbs in the sauce. It cleanses the palate with every bite, making the last forkful just as exciting as the first. <\/p>\n\n Alternative pairings<\/strong>: Barbera d’Alba, Morellino di Scansano<\/p>\n\n Filled pastas call for wines with personality. At Sfoglia Re we work on pairings that respect the delicate balance of each raviolo or agnolotto. <\/p>\n\n The earthy note of chestnut and the sharpness of gorgonzola call for a full-bodied white with real character.<\/p>\n\n Our pick<\/strong>: Alto Adige DOC Gew\u00fcrztraminer Franz Haas 2023<\/p>\n\n Intensely aromatic, with floral notes and a spiced touch that embraces the gorgonzola without overwhelming it.<\/p>\n\n The richness of duck and the fragrance of thyme find their balance in a quality Tuscan red.<\/p>\n\n Our pick<\/strong>: Bolgheri Rosso DOC “Le Macchiole” 2022<\/p>\n\n Dark fruit, elegant structure and tannic depth: the perfect partner for this agnolotto.<\/p>\n\n When pasta meets the sea, the pairing shifts towards freshness and minerality. Our Bavette with scampi call for a wine that carries the scent of a Mediterranean breeze. <\/p>\n\n Our pick<\/strong>: Costa Toscana IGT Vermentino 2023<\/p>\n\n The saline quality and citrus brightness of the Vermentino enhance the sweetness of the scampi without overpowering the sauce.<\/p>\n\n For the Chitarra with Butter and Anchovies<\/strong>: Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG “Ostrea” 2023, with its crisp, almost smoky base that balances the saltiness of the anchovies.<\/p>\n\n Our pumpkin risotto with herb pesto, Parmigiano fondue and ginger is creamy, sweet and complex. That is exactly why it works so well with sparkling wine. <\/p>\n\n Our picks<\/strong>: Franciacorta DOCG Faccoli Extra Brut or Trento DOC Tonini “Nature” 2021<\/p>\n\n The effervescence and dry finish act as a palate cleanser, cutting through the creaminess of the fondue and opening the way to the fresh notes of ginger.<\/p>\n\n For those who want to go beyond the wine list, Your Vino organises tours through Tuscan vineyards: an educational and sensory journey to understand how soil, climate and tradition shape what ends up in your glass.
