Groviglio, Cà Maiol’s first pure Groppello, is a red wine that expresses the essence of the historic vineyards of the Garda area, with aromatic notes of tart cherries, wild roses and berries. This wine, with its refined tannin and pleasant savoriness, is a striking accompaniment to a traditional dish such as vitello tonnato. Groviglio ‘s elegance perfectly balances the creaminess and savoriness of the sauce, enhancing each bite of the dish without ever overpowering the flavors.
Tangle and Veal with Tuna Sauce: A Combination of Flavors
Vitello tonnato is a dish that combines the delicacy of veal with the creaminess of a tuna sauce with capers and hints of lemon. Groviglio, with its flavor profile evoking the freshness of cherry and underbrush, is a perfect match for this dish. Notes of red fruits and blood orange meld with the creaminess of the sauce, while soft tannins lend structure without weighing it down.

A great way to complement this pairing is to serve extra virgin olive oil scones alongside vitello tonnato. The fragrance of the oil and the slight crunchiness of the scones marry perfectly with the roundness of Groviglio, creating an interplay of textures and flavors that enriches the sensory experience. Indeed, the aromaticity of the scones enhances the balsamic notes of the wine, making each bite an invitation to explore the nuances of Groppello.
