Food affinities

A major wine, to be matched with well-flavored dishes such as rendang, bak ku teh, pasta. Also good with polenta or stewed breadfruit with meat-based sauces; ideal for sophisticated red meats; an imaginative and surprising companion to dim sum and also to ravioli filled with pumpkin. A daring match for salmon skin and grilled swordfish.

Notes
*ready to drink
A wine with a prestigious name and origins lost in legend, which entranced the great Voltaire in 1700. The grape is Piedirosso (=red foot), mentioned by Pliny two thousand years ago. It is grown, in soil rich in ash, in the area surrounding Vesuvius. The fiery passion of the land finds direct expression in the wine, even after long aging.
