Monterosola’s Wine Pairings
Cassero (Vermentino) This is the perfect summer wine for a relaxed al-fresco aperitivo with friends. We often start the evenings with a glass of chilled Cassero while enjoying the early sunset and preparing dinner. Cassero is a young, easy-drinking youthful wine that compliments lighter dishes such as freshly grilled tuna or swordfish served with lemon.
Primo Passo (Grechetto, Manzoni, Viognier) The complexity and the structure of this wine goes very well with fattier fish such as salmon or a traditional roast chicken prepared with lots of fresh seasonal herbs and grilled citrus. Primo Passo enhances both fish and poultry dishes and has the depth of character to compliment flavourful, hand-picked herbs such as rosemary and sage.
Mastio (Sangiovese Blend) Is the perfect accompaniment to our traditional stone-baked pizza. At Monterosola we often entertain and prepare the wood-fired pizza oven well in advance in readiness for baking our own pizzas. A casual, yet elegant red wine, Mastio works in harmony with the traditional flavours of Tuscany, prosciutto, salami, pecorino cheese and freshly picked basil.
Crescendo (Sangiovese) The flagship wine of Monterosola, Crescendo is the perfect partner for long lazy dinners on the terrace. This wine has complex and intense flavours that perfectly compliment Tuscan sausages with fennel seeds or flavoursome slow-cooked organic meats and game.
