The best food pairings for Chianti and other Tuscan sangiovese

The best food pairings for Chianti and other Tuscan sangiovese

Posted on September 29 2021 at 07:26

There’s a lot of talk about how the wines of a region tend to match its food but that seems truer of Tuscany than almost anywhere else.

Wine pairing is much more about the way you cook a dish and the sauce you serve with it than it is about the basic ingredient and so it proved with this week’s match at the recently opened Brackenbury.

Good to see one of my favourite ever @honeyandco recipes - the fish pastilla - on the menu at their new Lamb’s Conduit Street home @honeyandcobloomsbury. Also the spring tabulé with cherries, the much instagrammed peach salad with goat’s cheese and what remained of the taramasalata with pickled red onion and chopped egg after we’d dived in. No room for cake, sadly. Will have to go back. (No great hardship there). . . . #pastilla #taboulé #peach #taramasalata #honeyandco #londonrestaurants #lunch #instafood #foodstagramI seriously think I could eat vitello - or pork - tonnato a couple of times a week at this time of year. It’s the most perfect summer food. Great bruschetta too. Always good to hang out @cottowinebarandkitchen and have a long overdue catch-up with @kate_hawkings. #bristollife . . . #vitellotonnato #tonnato #bruschetta #cotto #bristol #saturdaylunch #eatlocalTwo of the spectacular courses at the @penfolds lunch @trivetrestaurant today: grilled ribeye with herb purée and blackberry and pepper sauce with 1996 Grange and roast monkfish with girolles and red wine sauce with a 1962 - yes NINETEEN SIXTY-TWO - Kalimna Cabernet Shiraz. Amazing how the wines stood up to such deeply flavoured sauces devised with great skill by @jonny5lake without even having tasted the wines. Amazing meal #guest. . . . #steak #monkfish #redwine #redwinesauce #winepairing #foodandwine #penfolds #shiraz #grangeUnfortunately not my breakfast today but two stellar brekkies I had this week @foxinncorscombe (eggs bacon and bubble and squeak) and @parador_44 (the grilled chorizo and bacon roll with piquillo ketchup). Love a good hotel breakfast. . . . #breakfast #brunch #eggs #bacon #chorizo #spicyketchup #bubbleandsqueak #foxinncorscombe #parador44 #guest Follow on Instagram
