Food Pairings
Delicious dishes that pair perfectly with this wine
Excellent MatchA14. Sausage In Red Wine
Luganega and Valpolicella belong to the same northern kitchen, where sausage is cooked in exactly this style of wine. The ripasso method gives it dried-cherry depth that follows the reduction rather than sitting apart from it. Sold by the glass.
Excellent MatchP11. Culatta Di Parma 50gr
Ripe cherry and gentle spice complement Culatta’s sweet, aromatic flavour, while the wine’s smooth texture and freshness balance the delicate richness of the cured pork.
Excellent MatchP18. Salame Milano 50gr
Ripe cherry, gentle spice and a smooth texture complement the salami’s savoury seasoning, while enough freshness balances its evenly marbled richness without overwhelming it.
Excellent MatchP21. Salame Cacciatorino 50gr
Bright cherry, gentle herbs and soft spice suit this rustic salami beautifully, while lively freshness balances the pork fat and complements its pepper and garlic seasoning.
Excellent MatchPA23. Gnocchi Gorgonzola And Walnuts
Ripe cherry and plum flavours complement the walnuts and bold Gorgonzola, while smooth texture and balanced freshness make the rich, creamy gnocchi feel wonderfully rounded.
Excellent MatchC17. Taleggio 50gr
Ripe cherry fruit and gentle spice match Taleggio’s savoury aroma, while its rounded texture embraces the creamy cheese and enough freshness keeps the pairing pleasantly balanced.
Excellent MatchT17. Ricotta E Speck
Ripe cherry, plum and gentle spice go with smoky speck. The wine's smooth freshness balances the creamy ricotta and mozzarella and the tomato without overpowering the delicate zucchini.
Excellent MatchP3. Prosciutto With Bone "Handsliced" 50gr
Bright cherry and gentle spice complement the ham’s savoury cured flavours, while lively freshness cuts through the silky fat and lets the delicate hand-sliced texture shine.
Excellent MatchP7. Coppa Di Parma Stagionata 50gr
Ripe red fruit and gentle spice complement the Coppa’s sweet, peppery character, while the wine’s smooth richness pairs naturally with its marbled, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Good MatchP25. Sopressa Veneta Valligiana 50gr
Juicy dark fruit and gentle spice stand up beautifully to the rich Sopressa, while its fresh, rounded style complements the salami’s herbs and savoury pork flavours.
Good MatchPA1. Rigatoni Carbonara (Original)
Generous fruit and a warm, smooth character stand up nicely to guanciale and Pecorino, making a rich but balanced partner for this classic creamy Carbonara.
Good MatchP1. Prosciutto Crudo 50gr
Bright cherry and soft spice complement the ham’s savoury, aromatic character, while fresh acidity balances its salty richness without overwhelming the delicate flavour of the cured pork.
