What it pairs with
-
Roast wild boar
Gamey roast finds its match in the wine's leather and tobacco depth; firm tannin handles the gamey fat. -
Beef cheek braised in red wine
Slow-cooked beef pairs with the wine's iron mineral; high acidity refreshes between bites. -
Aged Montasio stravecchio
The 18-month aged Friulian cow cheese echoes the wine's dried fig sweetness; firm tannin scrubs the cheese fat.
