Wine and game: what is the winning combination?
A game-based menu requires time and dedication to be prepared in a tasty and satisfying way, which is also why the right wine can make all the difference. Or it can ruin everything catastrophically! Why take the chance?
Whether it is for tagliatelle with wild boar sauce, tortellini in sauce with rabbit meat, roast guinea fowl or pan-fried quail, to enhance the flavour of such dishes you must choose a wine that can soften their character, also managing to balance the strong sensations on the palate.
What is the best wine to pair with game dishes?
The Sagrantino 25 anni by Arnaldo Caprai will certainly give you the right combination of game and local character.
With its aggressive tannins, especially if young, it is able to soften the flavour of the meat, particularly baked pigeon, wild boar or cooked lamb, in order to have a great balance in the mouth. With its unmistakable ruby red colour and its haunting garnet reflections, the Sagrantino 25 anni by Arnaldo Caprai boasts a bouquet characterised by delicate notes of ripe fruit, with hints of spices. As tannic as it is persistent, its strong taste makes it an unrivalled red wine.
Remember this advice: leave this Sagrantino di Montefalco to decant for a good half hour, especially if well aged.
