Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Alasia Il Cascinone

Combinations

Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Alasia is a sparkling wine of great structure and complexity, which goes well with dishes of a certain texture and richness of flavor. A first pairing I suggest is with an appetizer of aged cured meats, such as a Parma or San Daniele prosciutto crudo, which with their sweetness and savoriness nicely contrast the wine's freshness and acidity. As for first courses, a risotto with porcini mushrooms or a pasta dish with white truffles can be an excellent choice. Both dishes, in fact, have an intense and earthy taste that balances well with the mineral notes and complexity of Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Alasia. For main courses, however, I suggest a roast veal or a grilled beef tenderloin. The richness and succulence of these meats marry well with the structure and persistence of the wine. Finally, as far as cheeses are concerned, Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Alasia pairs well with aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino, which with their savoriness and texture contrast the acidity and freshness of the wine. Remember, however, that food-wine pairings are very subjective and depend a lot on personal taste. So, do not hesitate to experiment and find the pairings that suit you best.
