The perfect match

Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG: This vibrant white wine’s crisp acidity and floral notes make it perfect for seafood. Elevate the pairing by adding dishes with a touch of citrus or herbal elements-like grilled prawns with lemon-basil butter or sea bass with a dill and white wine sauce. For cheese, try young Robiola or fresh chèvre, whose tanginess complements the wine’s freshness.

Caluso Passito DOCG: The rich sweetness and complexity of this passito are ideal for desserts, but pair it with a walnut tart or pecan pie for a sophisticated contrast. Its honeyed notes also balance the saltiness of Gorgonzola or Roquefort, creating an elegant cheese and wine experience.

Canavese Rosato DOC: This versatile rosé pairs beautifully with charcuterie boards-enhance the board with prosciutto, mild salami, and marinated artichokes. For roasted vegetables, try dishes with a smoky element, such as charred bell peppers or zucchini with herbs. Light pasta dishes like penne with cherry tomatoes, basil, and a sprinkle of Parmesan are also delightful matches.

Canavese Rosso DOC: This robust red is ideal for hearty meals like rosemary-crusted lamb or braised beef short ribs. Add a side of garlic mashed potatoes or roasted root vegetables for a cozy pairing. For cheeses, go beyond mature ones to include Pecorino Toscano or aged Taleggio, whose richness harmonizes with the wine’s structure.

"Nòssi Ràis": This bold wine shines with grilled meats like ribeye steak or lamb chops seasoned with rosemary and garlic. For a vegetarian option, wild mushroom risotto with a touch of truffle oil complements the earthy notes beautifully. Aged Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano, with its nutty, salty profile, elevates this pairing to perfection.

"Caretto Oro": The depth and complexity of "Caretto Oro" make it ideal for creamy dishes. Pair it with lobster risotto or scallops in a beurre blanc sauce to highlight the wine’s luxurious texture. For a poultry option, roasted chicken with a thyme and lemon glaze enhances the wine’s delicate balance of richness and acidity.

"Caretto Oro Rosso": A refined red that pairs beautifully with bold flavors. Venison or beef tenderloin with a red wine reduction sauce brings out the wine’s structure. Truffle-infused dishes, like truffle risotto or tagliatelle with truffle cream, create a symphony of earthiness and elegance.

"Scarlat": This unique and robust wine is perfect with smoked meats like brisket or pork belly glazed with a tangy barbecue sauce. Roasted duck with a cherry or orange glaze adds a touch of sweetness to balance the wine’s intensity. For a bold dessert, pair it with flourless chocolate cake or dark chocolate mousse.

Erbaluce di Caluso Spumante DOCG: This sparkling wine’s lively bubbles make it an excellent aperitif. Fried calamari with a lemon aioli or sushi rolls with avocado and fresh fish are ideal pairings, while light hors d’oeuvres like bruschetta with tomato and basil or smoked salmon canapés provide a refreshing balance.

"L'Obi": This versatile wine shines with artisanal cured meats like bresaola, mortadella, and spicy salami. For pasta, try cacao e pepe or spaghetti with olive oil, garlic, and chili flakes. A fresh caprese salad with ripe tomatoes, basil, and buffalo mozzarella also complements the wine’s light profile.
