Wine Pairing

Four-cheese ravioli is a delightful dish with a rich and indulgent filling. When it comes to pairing wines with this type of pasta, you’ll want to consider wines that can complement the flavors and provide a balanced experience. Here are some wine recommendations for four-cheese ravioli:

  1. Chianti: Chianti, a red wine from the Tuscany region of Italy, can be a fantastic pairing for four-cheese ravioli. Its medium body, moderate acidity, and cherry fruit flavors can complement the richness of the cheese filling without overwhelming it.
  2. Pinot Grigio: A light and crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio can work well with four-cheese ravioli. Look for a Pinot Grigio with good acidity and citrusy notes. The wine’s refreshing qualities can provide a contrast to the creamy cheese filling.
  3. Barbera: Another red wine option is Barbera, which is known for its bright acidity and red fruit flavors. It can cut through the richness of the cheese and provide a vibrant pairing for the four-cheese ravioli.
  4. Chardonnay: If you prefer a white wine with a bit more body, consider a Chardonnay. Look for a Chardonnay with balanced acidity and some oak influence. The wine’s buttery notes and creamy texture can complement the richness of the cheese filling.
  5. Nebbiolo: For a bolder and more complex pairing, Nebbiolo can be a great choice. This red wine from the Piedmont region of Italy offers robust tannins, high acidity, and flavors of red berries and earthiness. It can stand up to the intense flavors of the four-cheese filling.
