If at the entrée fine oysters and fresh raw fish are proposed, here is a high class match: Moletto Brut Millesimato, its soft bubbles harmonize with strong decisive taste on the one hand and with dainty taste of sea products on the other. Other fish appetizers – prawn canapé, seashells Saint-Jacques or tuna tartar: white wines are in great demand, peculiarity and structure of Lison Classico, aromas of Sauvignon. More appetizer is classic salmon. It requires sparkling Moletto Rosa, perfect to harmonize taste and nature of the dish, especially when goes with mountain pasture butter.
More frivolous proposals, such as 'sandwich panettone' (panettone salato), or more traditional from Venetian cuisine such as Baccalà mantecato (whipped codfish) or sardines "in saor", deserve sparkling Glisy. Does menu wink its eye to the Orient with vegetables and fish? Strokes at the palate of Brut Announo are perfect. If menu continues to decline towards the Orient, with intense spicy dishes and snug determined smells, the stage belongs to red wines. They are persuasive within reasonable limits, to bring out but not to cover spices of oriental cuisine. Therefore: fruity Refosco, spicy Franconia, full-bodied Merlot would be excellent matches.
Dainty risotto adores white wines (Chardonnay, sparkling Prosecco, Pinot Grigio). At the same time for traditional meat dishes: braised, roast, stewed, boiled, important red wines are ideal partners. It's time for Colmello Rosso, warm, full-bodied, with long balsamic final or typical ruby intense colored with rich personality as Raboso.
Someone prefers refined cheese cuts, and this refinement is brought out by Malvasia extra dry, which goes with fresh soft paste cheeses and by Cabernet Sauvignon 'Selecti' matching with mature savory cheeses.
New Year's holidays are triumph for dessert. Attention: the sweeter is the dessert the higher should be sugar content in wine. So, Moletto Torcolo goes with biscuits with neither topping nor filling.
