The wine dresses up
The festive table invites you to have a variety of dishes and preparations for all tastes.
In our country it is common to see that each guest brings something delicious to share with other family and friends.
Very often, a cold table is presented since the weather warrants it, contrary to the northern hemisphere where more caloric food takes place.
When thinking about drinks, it is inevitable to consider the sparkling wine for celebration although, as a country that consumes red wines, there is also the debate to make the best choice.
One of the basic rules in the harmony of food and drinks is to respect the aromatic intensity and weight in the mouth.
Argentina is a sunny country and as such, the wines have fairly high alcohol content; it is important to cool them as necessary, to bring them to 16/18 degrees, especially considering the high external temperatures.
There are milder varieties such as Pinot Noir, which, if it achieves an acidity consistent with its typicity, will also be an excellent choice.
The food is often presented as a kind of “buffet”, a recommendation is to do the same with the wine, through a varied selection of styles and strains.
You can accompany the whole meal with calm whites or rosés and also in the “bubbly” version; If we want to pay tribute to them, the ideal would also be to detach them from the dessert and that the toast arrives with enough time so that the wine does not disarm in the mouth in the presence of sugar. However, it goes well with sweet bread, panettone and dried fruit.
It is a recommendation to offer similar characteristics, variety and different types of wine at parties or meetings, so that there is a better game in the pairing, and above all that everyone can drink what they like the most.
