Wild Mushroom Farfalle: A Perfect Companion for Sangiovese

The Perfect Pairing

Our 2021 Sangiovese from Moon Mountain District finds its ideal match in this sumptuous Wild Mushroom Farfalle. The earthy, robust flavors of wild mushrooms complement the wine's red fruit notes and subtle tannins, while the creamy pasta provides a luxurious backdrop that enhances the Sangiovese's smooth texture.

The thyme in the dish echoes the herbal undertones in the wine, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. As you savor the pasta alongside each sip of our Sangiovese, you'll experience a perfect balance of rustic elegance that truly showcases the best of both the food and the wine.

This recipe is elevated by the use of our specialty 2023 Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Crafted with the same care and attention as our wines, this premium, organic olive oil adds a rich, fruity flavor that perfectly complements the wild mushrooms and enhances the overall dish.

The high quality of our olive oil not only improves the taste of the dish but also brings out the best in our Sangiovese, creating a truly harmonious meal.
