Primary Goal
The Do's
-
01
Match weight to weight
Pair lean foods (chicken breast, fillet, white fish) with lighter wines; pair rich foods (ribeye, slow-cooked stew, pork belly) with structured ones.
-
02
Use acidity to cut fat
When in doubt, pick a wine with bright acidity. Vermentino, Falanghina and Barbera all do this work across protein and category.
-
03
Match or beat dessert sweetness
Sweet wines must be at least as sweet as the dessert. Moscato d'Asti for fruit; Brachetto for milk chocolate; Recioto and Passito for dark.
