Cesanese del Piglio
Cesanese del Piglio, Lazio's only red DOCG, is the absolute terroir pairing for coda alla vaccinara — its spicy black fruit and round tannins embrace the 4-hour braised oxtail, and its wild herbs support the celery, bitter cocoa and raisins of the Roman sauce.
Aglianico del Vulture
Aglianico del Vulture, a volcanic red with powerful tannins, is built for coda alla vaccinara — its acidity and structure absorb the deep fat of the slow-stewed oxtail, and its ash and leather notes echo the bitter cocoa signature of Rome's quinto quarto.
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva, fleshy and velvety, accompanies coda alla vaccinara generously — its polished tannins envelop the collagen-rich oxtail, and its black fruit and licorice complement the sweet-sour raisins and pine nuts of the traditional sauce.
