Lamb
And now the highlight: on the Easter tables you cannot miss the lamb dish, a classic of Italian cuisine that leaves room for red wines with a soft, warm and enveloping taste. Cooked stewed , lamb prefers pairing with Aglianico del Vulture , such as the Piano Regio "Strapellum" by Cantine di Palma, the Barbaresco base or the Bric Turot by Prunotto , or even an intense Sicilian wine , including we propose the Nero d'Avola Sosta Tre Santi from Nicosia or the Tancredi from Donnafugata. A scottadito instead finds the ideal accompaniment in a Cabernet Sauvignon from South Tyrol , such as the Puntay di Erste + Neue, in Bolgheri such as the Bruciato Antinori, or in Cannonau , such as the Carnival Riserva di Sedilesu or the Falcale by Piero Mancini.
Vegetarian alternative
Maybe not everyone likes lamb? We thought about that too. If your Easter menu is modern, even for the healthiest, the perfect match is not missing. Let's put lamb and ragù aside and devote ourselves to seasonal cheeses and vegetables , in particular artichokes and asparagus . The savory taste of vegetarian cuisine is recommended for the freshness of white wines characterized by good acidity , such as Guy Saget's Pouilly-Fumé , or South Tyrolean Pinot Blanc , such as Hofstatt di Cortaccia. With legumes, Erbaluce di Caluso Merlana from Vite Colte could be the best choice.
Easter cakes
For the dessert, no doubt: the chocolate egg will always have its reserved place. A difficult marriage, yes, that between wine and chocolate, but not impossible; it's all about finding the most harmonious combination. To keep in mind the amount of cocoa in the chocolate, and so next to a dark chocolate with an intense and decisive taste we recommend pairing with a sweet wine, such as Agricanto di Paladin, Barolo Chinato Il Diavolo Sulle Colline di Vite Colte or a Marsala Superiore Riserva 10 Ann i by Marco de Bartoli. If we talk instead of milk chocolate , more delicate and certainly less aromatic, the ideal combination will be a Recioto della Valpolicella , such as Recioto Angelorum di Masi or Recioto di Bolla.
But let's not forget the other undisputed symbol of this festival: the Easter dove . Now of a thousand varieties, it certainly cannot be missing on the tables of the Italians. For this, the perfect match is definitely Moscato d'Asti , such as Lumine di Ca'd Gal or Moscato Prunotto , which with its aromatic sweetness and elegant effervescence will enhance the pleasant taste of this typical Easter cake. Recioto di Soave is also indicated , such as Le Sponde di Coffele. For other traditional desserts, such as the Neapolitan pastiera or Calabrian catmint, sweet wines such as the Vin Santo dei Marchesi Gondi, or the Sauternes of Château Landion or the most famous Château d'Yquem are indicated.
Finally, for the whole meal, you could choose a bubble , of which we obviously suggest the great classics, such as a Champagne , a Franciacorta or a Trento DOC .
