Cheese Week: 4 wines for 4 dishes
This week we celebrate one of the most exquisite and versatile products that gathers followers all over the world: cheese.
Whether it is soft or hard, made from cow’s milk, goat’s milk or even the most recent ones made from nuts, cheese never ceases to surprise – and conquer – in its various presentations.
And when it comes to unbeatable pairings, there is no better drink for cheese than wine.
Why is that?
First of all, because of the great versatility of wines for “wrap” the character and texture of the cheese mass, with harmony and balance.
Here are some examples of dishes that contain cheese as a main ingredient and our suggestion to accompany them.
Calzone
If we follow the classic recipe from Naples, this nutritious Italian specialty has three types of cheese (Ricotta, Mozzarella or Fiordilatte and grated Parmigiano) and the addition of Salame Napoli.
There will be a relevant fat content in the result, contributed by the cheeses and the cold meat.
A red wine of medium body and consistency will be ideal to provoke satiety and also a sensation of freshness, for which we recommend Malbec Encounter. Lasagna
When it comes to the full version, that is, with beef, the recipe itself will lead us to a red wine.
In this case, the succulence of this pasta will appreciate an equally round and balanced red wine, with some spicy nuances such as Dominio Rutini Malbec-Cabernet Franc. Fusilli with 4 cheese sauce
In the case of Fusilli, or any simple pasta, the finesse of this food may recommend an alliance with expressive, fresh and dry whites that balance the creaminess of the sauce and the pasta and refresh the palate.
That is why we suggest Trumpeter Reserve Pinot Grigio. Spinach soufflé with cheese
The Swiss origin of this menu (containing Gouda and Brie varieties) advises us to enjoy it with a glass of rosé, fruity and dry, to accompany the warm aromas and the dairy-creamy flavor of the dish.
Such a delicious dish will make a great match with Trumpeter Reserve Malbec Rosé.If you are craving for a cheese board, Santi Cheese has a variety of proposals that combine the best of cheese with our wines, to enhance the culinary experience.
