Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese, Primitivo and Merlot wine and food pairings

Danzante Italian Wines has done a great job of highlighting the importance of wine and food pairing. Their website features recipes and wine and food pairings for each of their wines.

Pinot Grigio can match with Risotto with Truffles, Potato Ravioli, Lemon and Black Pepper Grilled Chicken Legs and Baked Swordfish with Vegetables.

Their Sangiovese can pair with Caponate, Pasta and Bean Soup, Guinea Foul with Grapes and Roast Veal with Lemon and Aniseed.

The Merlot food and wine matches can include Harvest Minestrone, Shitake Mushroom Crostini, Grilled Pizza and Polenta with Sausage.

Last but not least, the Primitivo may pair with Late Harvest Tomato and Basil Sauce with Rigatoni, Seafood Jambalaya, Roast Quail Stuffed with Pate and Served in Pastry Crust and Braised Beef "Al Primitivo."

These wine and recipe matches are perfect for red wine drinkers that want to use my 'buddy system' to drink their one glass a day for health. For each type of wine, all the recipes are on the same page, making your trip to the grocery store much easier!
