The best wine pairings for lasagna
A traditional Lasagne is the ultimate comfort food, a multi-layered masterpiece that combines silky pasta, savoury meats, creamy sauces, and bubbling cheese into one irresistible dish.
But with so many variations on the basic recipe these days, the wine options can be as layered as the lasagne itself.
In this guide, I’ll explore the best wines to pair with different styles of lasagne, some of which may just surprise you.
Top wine pairings for lasagna
Classic meat lasagna
Basically you can go for the same type of wines as you would for a spaghetti bolognese though as the cheese sauce tends to make the dish a bit richer you might want to go for slightly more full-bodied reds. Maybe a modern style Tuscan red rather than a classic Chianti or a southern Italian or Sicilian red like Nero d’Avola or Primitivo. Barbera is a good pairing too as are Italian grape varieties such as sangiovese from elsewhere.
