When it comes to pairing a wine with fish dishes with spicy or spicy condiments, Cà Maiol’s Molin proves to be an ideal choice. This Lugana DOC is known for its elegance, freshness and the complexity of its aromas, which allow it to enhance intense dishes without overpowering them. Molin comes from a careful selection of Turbiana grapes, an indigenous variety from the shores of Lake Garda, which gives the wine a pleasant mineral freshness and a balanced structure, capable of enhancing strong flavors without obscuring the delicate notes of fish.
Thanks to these characteristics, Molin is perfect for dishes such as pasta with seafood, scampi and squid, flavored with spices and chili. Let’s look together at some of the best pairings with Molin to create an unforgettable dining experience.
Linguine with Scampi and Chili Pepper
Linguine with scampi, enriched with a light spicy note of chili pepper, is a real flavor explosion. The sweetness of the shellfish and the balanced spiciness of the chili pepper harmonize with the freshness and structure of the Molin. The wine perfectly balances the spicy note of the dish, enhancing the delicacy of the scampi and giving a round and pleasant taste experience. This dish is perfect for a fine dinner, where every bite and every sip complement each other.
Spaghetti alle Vongole con Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino (Spaghetti with Clams and Garlic, Oil and Chili)
Another classic seafood dish is spaghetti alle vongole con aglio, olio e peperoncino. In this dish, the intensity of the garlic and the sharpness of the chili pepper are balanced by the acidity and minerality of Molin, which enhance the freshness of the clams and the authenticity of the dish. Molin perfectly accompanies the briny flavors of the clams, transforming a simple first course into a gourmet experience.
Cuttlefish Black Risotto with Chili Pepper
For lovers of more intense flavors, squid ink risotto with a hint of chili is a dish that offers a perfect combination with Molin. Squid ink gives the dish a unique complexity, with deep marine notes that call for a wine that can hold its own. Molin’s freshness balances the slight spiciness and savoriness of the risotto, while its minerality enhances the marine flavors of the dish. This pairing is ideal for those who enjoy elaborate dishes with a strong character.
Paccheri with Spicy Seafood.
Another perfect option to accompany Molin is a plate of seafood paccheri with spices. The pasta and seafood mix, such as mussels, shrimp and squid, are enriched with spices that intensify the flavors of the sea. Molin, with its balanced acidity and aromatic notes of fruit and white flowers, beautifully accompanies the intense flavors of this dish, imparting freshness and harmony to the palate.
