Raw fish and seafood are the undisputed protagonists of a refined and light cuisine, especially appreciated in the warmer seasons. However, to best enhance the delicate flavours of these dishes, it is essential to choose the right wine. In this article, we will guide you to discover the best pairings, suggesting two excellences from our cellar: Prestige Lugana DOC and Molin Lugana DOC Superiore, perfect to accompany your crudités.
Fish Crudités and Seafood: Secrets for a Perfect Pairing
Fish crudités, as well as oysters, prawns, scampi and other seafood, require fresh, delicate and aromatic wines that balance the natural sweetness of the fish with a pleasant acidity and minerality. The white wines of Lake Garda, with their fresh and savoury profile, are the ideal choice.
Prestige Lugana DOC: Freshness and Versatility
Prestige Lugana DOC is a white wine that stands out for its freshness and aromaticity. Produced from Turbiana grapes, this wine best expresses the characteristics of the Lake Garda territory. On the nose, it releases hints of citrus fruits and white flowers, while on the palate it offers a pleasant savouriness and a lingering finish. It is the perfect companion for white fish carpaccio, tuna or salmon tartare and raw prawns, as it enhances delicate flavours without overpowering them.
Molin Lugana DOC: Elegance and Complexity
For those seeking a more complex and structured pairing, Molin Lugana DOC is the ideal choice. This wine, also made from Turbiana grapes, has greater depth and layering than the Prestige, thanks to a careful selection of grapes and a longer vinification process. The palate is enveloping, with notes of ripe fruit and mineral nuances. The Molin pairs perfectly with oysters, langoustines and fuller raw fish dishes, thanks to its ability to balance the unctuousness of the fish with its distinct freshness.
Whether you prefer a fresh and immediate wine like Prestige, or a more structured white like Molin, both options offer a unique taste experience that enhances the flavours of raw fish and seafood. Discover the wines of Cà Maiol and bring the true essence of Lake Garda to the table.
