Pasta with a glass of wine, it's not always easy to choose the right combination. Pasta of various kinds is one of the most popular dishes. Simple and quick to prepare, which everyone can handle, plenty of variations for seasoning and yet they taste delicious. Add to that a glass of fine wine and you have a dinner ready, just like from an expensive restaurant. But it is necessary to choose the right wine, not all wines go well with pasta and we need to combine them correctly. The wines do not create a harmony of flavours with the pasta itself, but rather with the sauce. Each sauce is matched with a different variety of wine, what is it?
Chardonnay
If you are a lover of Italian cuisine and often prepare pasta with creamy sauces, spaghetti carbonara, mushroom pasta or lasagne do not hesitate to reach for a Chardonnay wine. A dry white wine with a distinctive fruity aroma is just the right accompaniment to your Italian dinner.
Riesling
We recommend pairing this white wine with spicier sauces and mushrooms, as it has a sweet and spicy flavour that perfectly enhances the taste of your pasta. You can smell the fruity aromas of apples, pears and peaches in the wine.
Cabernet Sauvignon
The favourite in the world of red wines is definitely Cabernet Sauvignon. We recommend serving it with pasta with tomato sauce. The combination of the acidic flavours of the tomato and the wine will guarantee an unforgettable tasting experience. The wine is characterised by its spicy flavour, which may include hints of plum, cherry, sour cherry or black pepper.
Merlot
If you like to enjoy meat lasagna or pasta with bolognese sauce, open a bottle of dry red Merlot to go with it. Together, they create a delicious treat that will be enriched by flavours of plum, cherry or blackcurrant, which is what Merlot is all about.
Once you know the best combinations, just run out to buy a good wine and cook a tasty pasta in the evening. Romantic, perfect for a pleasant May dinner out under the stars.
