Barone Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico 2021

You can enjoy a broad range of beverages with savoury snacks. They are often served before the main meal, so your beverage should be mild and fresh.

Pasta itself has a neutral flavour, so your choice of beverage will largely be influenced by the other ingredients, such as sauces, fillings and spices. To accompany pasta and pizza, it’s worth choosing a beverage that has the same level of richness as the food.

Almost any red wine will work with beef, as long as it’s full-bodied enough. You can also opt for full-bodied beers with beef.

Casseroles are usually rich in flavour yet quite smooth due to their long cooking times. A similarly rich and smooth beverage will therefore work well with them. If your food is very fatty, you can cut it with a well-balanced beverage.
