How to match
Turan Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOCG

A wine that needs time to reveal itself, so it is necessary to open it a little before serving it, maintaining a variable temperature between 16 ° and 18 ° and with a large glass with a wide brim.

Excellent wines are always welcomed. You can taste it both alone and in good company, best if combined with structured and tasty dishes. Appropriate also with aperitifs, starters, red meats, vegetarian dishes, and semi to long-seasoned cheeses.

Let’s imagine an ​​Italian first course, lasagna Bolognese, roast lamb, eggplant parmigiana, also fragrant cheeses like gorgonzola or a pecorino.

We would match it with a first course: rigatoni with pumpkin and porcini mushrooms.
