Autumn pairings: five dishes with five Baglio Diar wines.

Autumn brings with it rich dishes and intense aromas.

What better way to enjoy them than with Baglio Diar’s organic and vegan Sicilian wines?

You don’t need to be a sommelier or wine expert to appreciate a good pairing: all you need is the curiosity to discover how a glass of wine and a dish can enhance each other.

A little tip?

Always ask yourself what the dish needs: a touch of freshness, a little softness, or a boost of character.

The right wine will do the rest.

 

Here are five of our seasonal pairing ideas designed to accompany our wines.

 

  1. Porcini mushroom risotto paired with Nero d’Avola “Nedda”

Porcini mushroom risotto is creamy and rich in forest aromas. Nero d’Avola Nedda brings freshness and liveliness to the dish, balancing its softness. The wine enhances the earthy tones of the mushrooms and, thanks to its structure, accompanies the creaminess of the risotto without weighing it down.

 

  1. Tagliatelle with truffles paired with Catarratto “Dida”

Tagliatelle with truffles has a strong and aromatic taste. Catarratto Dida, with its good structure and freshness, supports the intensity of the truffles and amplifies their complexity.  Together they create an elegant and smoky balance: the pasta wraps around the palate, while the wine cleanses it and invites you to take another bite.

 

  1. Roast pork paired with Syrah “Disira”

A Sunday classic: juicy and fragrant roast pork. Syrah Disira accompanies it with lightness and fresh notes that lighten the fattiness of the meat.

 

  1. Blue cheeses with dry Zibibbo “Fantasia”

Blue cheeses have strong and persistent flavors. Dry Zibibbo Fantasia brings freshness and citrus aromas that soften their power and enhance their aromatic nuances. The result is a pairing in which the wine makes the cheese a little “lighter,” if you will, on the palate, while the cheese gives the wine a certain depth.

 

  1. Pasta with pumpkin and sausage paired with Grillo “Selene”

Sweetness and savory notes are the most characteristic features of this typical autumn dish. The pumpkin tends to sweeten, while the sausage enriches. Grillo Selene adds a certain liveliness and a pleasant freshness that balances the fat, while its fruity notes enhance the sweetness of the pumpkin. Together they become a balanced and delicious mix.
