Local pairings
With their intense aroma, they have become the symbol of Sunday family lunches. Tortelli di zucca are a recipe originally from Mantua, but can be found in the best restaurants throughout northern Italy. Aromatic and mouth-watering, filled with sweet pumpkin, amaretti biscuits, apple or pear mostarda, nutmeg and lots and lots of aged Parmesan cheese. The typical seasoning? Melted butter and sage! They are also perfect with tomato sauce and white meat ragout. A rich, complex first course with a fragrant filling, sweet and spicy in flavour. A set of flavours on the palate that call for a structured white wine with an intense minerality that only the clays of our territory and a long ageing in the bottle can guarantee.
International pairings
A typical dish of Nikkei cuisine, the result of the contamination of Peruvian cuisine, typically spicy and strong flavoured, with the more delicate and simple Asian cuisine. This dish is a combo of sea bream, a fish with delicate, soft flesh, and rice flavoured with yuzu, a sophisticated and strong-flavoured Japanese citrus fruit. Jalapeno pepper adds complexity to the dish, in harmony with a structured white wine, with a candied citrus aftertaste of Lugana Riserva.
