Uitgelichte wijn-spijs combinatie van augustus 2024: Tagliatelle & Esment Tetra

Featured wine-food pairing of August 2024: Tagliatelle & Esment Tetra

In our monthly column, we always present a perfect wine/dish combination. This month, we have selected a special dish and a matching wine that will delight your taste buds.

Dish: Tagliatelle with Stracotto (ragù of slowly cooked beef)

Wine: Esment Tetra 2021 from Tenuta Del Travale

  • Esment Tetra – Celestial Wine
    This unique blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio comes from Calabria, unlike most of these wines which are made in Sicily on the Etna.

Why this combination works:
The intense flavor of the beef in the Stracotto is a perfect match for the rich and fruity finish of this fantastic wine. The combination of the full flavors in both the dish and the wine creates a harmonious and unforgettable dining experience.

Valuation:
'Not for nothing did this top performer receive 94/100 from none other than Ian D’Agata. He noted:'

"This is probably, unless memory fails me now, the best Esment Tetra ever made. There’s a lot of wine for the money here, and it would be the top wine at many wineries, while here it plays second fiddle to the Eleuteria."
