Taste profile – what dominates?

Guess first: which sensation dominates this dish?

Wenn dieser Wein nicht verfugbar ist…

If this exact wine is not available, reach for a similar style: same colour, comparable body and a similar level of acidity or tannin. This keeps the balance between dish and glass intact.

Warum dieses Pairing funktioniert
The freshness and medium tannins of the Chianti bring clarity to the richness of the Bolognese and keep the combination of meat and tomato feeling light. Red cherry fruit and herbs pick up the sweet tomato sauce and ragù aromatically – this bridge makes wine and pasta feel like a tuned whole.
