Pasta Bolognese
Pasta Bolognese features a rich, meaty sauce with deep tomato flavors and savory umami notes that benefit from beverages with enough structure to stand up to its hearty profile while offering complementary fruit and acidity. Italian red wines like Sangiovese cut through the richness with acidity while providing earthy notes that enhance the sauce, while malt-forward beers with caramel notes complement the savory meat and tomato flavors.
