Oriental cuisine, full of complex flavors, spices and exotic ingredients, can seem challenging for those looking for the right wine pairing. However, Cà Maiol ‘s Prestige Lugana DOC proves a perfect companion for a wide range of Asian dishes thanks to its freshness, fruity and floral notes and vibrant acidity.
Sushi and Sashimi
The delicate flavors of raw fish in sushi and sashimi call for a wine that does not overpower the dish. Prestige Lugana DOC, with its citrus notes and slight minerality, enhances the freshness of the fish, cleansing the palate with every sip. Its acidity perfectly balances the sweetness of the rice and the savoriness of the soy sauce.
Tempura
Tempura, with its crispness and lightness, finds an ideal match in Prestige. Its fresh notes of white fruit and citrus complement the stir-fry without weighing it down, maintaining a pleasant lightness in the mouth.
Pad Thai
A Thai dish such as Pad Thai, rich in sweet and sour and spicy flavors, pairs well with Prestige Lugana DOC. The wine’s freshness contrasts the slight sweetness and heat of the spices, while the fruity notes harmonize with ingredients such as shrimp, lime and peanuts.
Dim Sum
Dim Sum, often stuffed with meat or vegetables and steamed, calls for a versatile wine such as Prestige. Its floral nuances and acidity balance the richness of the filling, providing a harmonious match.
Prestige Lugana DOC is the ideal partner for a variety of oriental dishes because of its versatility, minerality and ability to balance complex flavors. This wine is an excellent match for exploring new food and wine frontiers with Asian cuisine.
