Harmonization of wine for your Easter lunch.
|
Harmonization of wine for your Easter lunch. Fish is a protagonist at Easter lunch in some cultures. It is very common that, when thinking about fish and seafood dishes, the first idea for harmonization is with white, green and rosé wines. This does not happen by chance: undeniably, in general terms, these wines go very well with light dishes and with this type of protein. But it is important refine the harmonization and not get stuck in the simplistic idea that all clear wine goes well with fish, and therefore, just choose any one. You also cannot be bound by standards, and the individual taste and preference of your family and guests must be respected. White wine White wines are certainly the protagonists on this day. The softer notes and the lighter body, which are striking in this drink category, make them the choice of many families make up the table for such a special lunch. By choosing a good white, it is very likely that you will achieve a good match with fish. But if you want a more refined and precise harmonization, you need take into account which fish will be served. Some more fatty and strong-tasting fish, such as salmon and tuna, as well as those used in more seasoned and compound dishes, such as cod, may not do so well with white wines. If you will have a lighter and fresher dish as a base and your region is warmer, whites made with Pinot Noir grapes and sparkling wines are a great option. Green wine Green wine has a more acidic flavor. Like whites, it is also served chilled and goes very well with fish and seafood. When the fish is served raw, either in a tartar or in Japanese dishes such as sushi and sashimi, greens are the best choice. Rose wine In addition to being beautiful to the eye, making the decoration of your Easter table even more beautiful, rosé wine is light, delicate and very balanced, being the perfect companion for the fish you choose (from cod to salmon) for the its celebration, in addition to seafood in general. For those who prefer to vary the choice of fish - or offer another type of dish to please those guests who do not appreciate the delicacy - a pasta can be an excellent option, more democratic and easier to prepare. And to accompany a pasta with tomato sauce, keep the choice of rosé wine. Cod, for example, is a fish that is perfect with the company of a red wine - and, depending on the recipe, the type of wine can vary: the classic baked cod, which accompanies olives and peppers, can (and should ) be served with a more complex red wine, matured in oak barrels. Such flavors, together, will be more concentrated and tasty on the palate For those who prefer another type of meat, good options are the lamb, delicious and juicy, which will be even more delicious if accompanied by a medium-bodied red wine, fine tannins and balanced acidity. Wines for dessert The wines harmonize very well with various types of sweets, and, at Easter, how about making a delicious combination with the chocolates ..... Enjoy Easter chocolates and try the wine of your choice. A good tip to start is: Bitter chocolates are easier to pair with red wines; White chocolates are the ideal companion for white and sparkling wines. In fact, it is not a difficult task to harmonize wine for Easter. Just choose quality drinks, follow the tips and delight your guests, making your celebration even more special. Above all, remember that the important thing is the unity and the joy of the moment, try the rules, but leave people free to combine dishes and wines in the way they like the most  |
