Red Wine

Tedeschi Capitel San Rocco Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore 2021, Veneto D.O.C., Italy: Tedeschi’s Ripasso Superiore 2019 exudes lavender-scented spice and brambly red-cherry notes, lifted by an energetic seam of stemmy brightness. Medium-full yet nimble, it finishes with a lasting spice echo. Drink through 2030. Pair with rosemary lamb skewers and braised-oxtail pappardelle.

White Wine

Mastroberardino Del Sannio Falanghina 2023, Campania D.O.C., Italy: Sunwarm lime-blossom and ripe peach aromas evolve into banana-sugar nuances and wild-herb lift in this lively Falanghina. Bright and saline, it pairs beautifully with crab-apple salad and ginger-spiked tofu skewers. Falanghina food pairings: grilled seafood, calamari, linguini vongole.
