Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for pappardelle al ragu di cinghiale. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Chianti Classico Riserva
Absolute Tuscan pairing: long-aged Chianti Riserva Sangiovese shares the terroir where cinghiale is hunted. Leather and tobacco echo long-simmered game, Sangiovese acidity cutting wild boar fat.
Brunello di Montalcino
Brunello (Sangiovese Grosso in Montalcino) is the aristocratic pairing: tertiary leather-truffle depth giving nobility to wild boar ragu, patinated tannins holding the long-sauced pappardelle.
Nobile di Montepulciano
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (Sangiovese "Prugnolo Gentile") is the intermediate option: rounder than Chianti, less powerful than Brunello — plum-cherry-spice balance accompanying simmered wild boar with refined Tuscan elegance.
