Wines to match different pasta sauces
What wine should you pair with your favourite pasta? As you might guess it depends on the sauce rather than the pasta shape. From rich and meaty ragùs to light and zesty pesto, each sauce has its own unique profile that deserves a thoughtful wine pairing. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right bottle? The perfect match can transform your meal, turning a simple pasta night into an unforgettable dining experience. Personally I like to pair Italian wine with pasta wherever possible as it suits it so well and isn’t too full-bodied or alcoholic.

I’ve never known quite what wine to pair with cacio e pepe, the fashionable pasta dish that’s just based on cheese (usually pecorino) and cracked pepper.
