Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy's most refined and versatile wines. Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, this wine is known for its deep flavors and elegant structure. But which dishes go best with this Tuscan gem? Below you'll discover the perfect pairings to get the most out of your Brunello.

1. Classic Tuscan Dishes

Nothing pairs better with a Brunello di Montalcino than the rich flavors of Tuscan cuisine. Think of dishes like pappardelle with game ragù , beef stews, or roast lamb. The full flavor of the wine beautifully complements the savory notes of the meat.

2. Truffle dishes

Brunello is an excellent partner for truffles. Serve a creamy risotto with black truffle or fresh pasta with truffle butter. The earthy flavors of truffles enhance the complex notes of the wine.

3. Matured Cheeses

Pair Brunello with aged cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano , Parmigiano-Reggiano or Gorgonzola. The cheese's savory, creamy flavors are beautifully balanced by the wine.

4. Grilled Vegetables and Mushrooms

For a vegetarian option, grilled vegetables such as eggplant or zucchini and dishes with mushrooms such as porcini are an excellent choice. The spicy notes in Brunello complement these perfectly.

Tip: Decant Brunello di Montalcino at least an hour in advance and serve at 18–20°C to allow the flavours to fully develop.

Conclusion:
Whether you are serving a rich pasta, game dish or a cheese platter, Brunello di Montalcino elevates every dish. Be inspired by the flavours of Tuscany and create an unforgettable culinary experience.
