Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for pizzoccheri. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.

Valtellina Superiore Sassella

red · Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) · Valtellina, Lombardie · Italie — 16–18°C

Total proximity pairing: Valtellina Superiore (Nebbiolo "Chiavennasca" on alpine terraces) and pizzoccheri share the same valley. Alpine Chiavennasca tannin holds melted butter and fontina; floral notes respect sage and potato.

Sfursat di Valtellina

red · Nebbiolo (passito) · Valtellina · Italie — 17–18°C

For grand-version pizzoccheri (heavy fontina + bitto, generous butter): Sfursat (dry Nebbiolo passito) brings concentration and structure to hold the extreme richness of melted mountain cheese.

Lugana

white · Turbiana · Lac de Garde · Italie — 10–12°C

For those preferring white: Lugana Turbiana (lake Garda morainic soils) deploys a lacustrine roundness balancing butter — soft acidity maintaining digestibility against extreme richness.
