A good dish without the right wine is like a concert without an orchestra. Food and wine pairing isn’t a rigid rulebook – it’s an art of balance, contrasts and harmony. In the UK, where international cuisine meets Italian tradition, serving the right wine makes all the difference: at home, in restaurants, or in wine bars.
With meat dishes
For a juicy steak or Sunday roast, you need a wine that can stand up to the flavour. Merlot “Il Senatore” from Cantine Moletto is smooth and full-bodied, with dark fruit notes that pair beautifully with red meat and game. For a more traditional style, Barbera d’Alba Doc from Cantine Rasore is fresh yet structured, balancing richness and intensity.
With fish
Fish is central to the Mediterranean diet, but also increasingly popular in the UK. Chardonnay “Il Deputato” from Moletto offers freshness and medium body, ideal with grilled fish. For a lighter, more aromatic option, Organic Trebbiano d’Abruzzo from Cantine Spinelli delivers delicate aromas and a clean finish that enhances seafood.
With pizza and vegetarian dishes
Gourmet pizzas and vegetarian menus are booming in the UK. Organic Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo from Spinelli is a bold rosé with red fruit notes, perfect with creative pizzas and grilled vegetables. For hearty salads and light dishes, Organic Pecorino from Spinelli is the right match: citrusy, mineral and refreshing.
With desserts and celebrations
The right wine has a place even at the end of the meal. Prosecco Rosé Treviso Millesimato Extra Dry from Moletto adds elegance to fruit tarts and fresh desserts. For stylish toasts, Moletto’s Prosecco Masters 2024 is an award-winning label that makes any occasion stand out.
The golden rule
There are no universal pairings – only moments, people and tastes. The strength of Italian wines lies in variety: whether you choose Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio or Montepulciano, there’s always a glass ready to elevate the dish in front of you.
