Food Matches
The ‘Superiore’ version’s robust structure makes it particularly suitable for accompanying roast meats, game and dishes with strong flavours. Its longer finish allows it to stand up to meat main courses without being overpowered.
Excellent with a platter of cold cuts and cheeses, it also pairs perfectly with traditional meat-based appetisers and first courses. From red to white meats prepared with medium-high intensity, the structure of this wine expresses its full personality.
The Superiore version of Lacrima therefore offers a complex food and wine experience, where its important structure and long finish allow it to be paired with more complex and flavourful dishes, while maintaining the characteristic elegance and versatility of the grape variety.
