Red wine is always a good choice with pasta sauces. This week we are featuring a Nebbiolo from the Piedmont region. Cantina San Matteo Nebbiolo is a young and fresh expression of the grape. It shows some of the typical notes of flowers and cherry. On the palate, dark fruits and savory flavors shine and finish with the fruit driven tannins. The wine is aged in stainless steel, making for light and easy-drinking Nebbiolo.

This is a dish that is welcoming to many types of wine, both red and white, so choose your favorite. This week we feature a Rioja Crianza from El Coto. The wine opens with cherry and raspberries with notes of spice and oak. This wine is a great expression of an entry-level Rioja.
