| Pairing |
Langhe Freisa, considered the mother of the Nebbiolo vine, goes very well with dishes based on stuffed pasta, fresh pasta with game sauce, veal with tuna sauce, meat dishes, goose, bagna cauda, Piedmontese mixed fry. Also in the rest of the world there are many recipes that go well with this wine. In France we think of cassoulet (bean and sausage stew) and lamb blanquette. Moving to Austria, instead, the faschierte laibchen (beef and pork meatballs). In Hungary, mangalica meat or sült kacsa (roast duck). In Lapland, on the other hand, reindeer stew. In England, bangers and mash (sausage and mashed potatoes) and pork pie. |
