Rigatoni
Rigatoni is a medium-sized and wide tube-shaped dough. It has a straight cut at its ends because it is a dough with a good width it is excellent to retain the sauce throughout its surface, this dough can be accompanied only with a delicious sauce such as Pomodoro and bolognese, and also because it is a great dough to fill, if the customer prefers it can complement with cheeses, vegetables and meats.
This pasta combines mainly with sauces based on tomatoes and plenty of cheese; in this case, the wines indicated are rosé, Red, Chianti style, and those of the Merlot grape, because they have an ideal acidity and necessary for red sauces. And if your rigatoni dish has enough cheese, you can opt for a wine with a more present acidity excellent for more fatty and heavy sauces, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Beaujolais, etc.
Fettuccine
Fettuccine is a long pasta, similar to spaghetti, only more flattened; it combines with more light sauces, such as Pomodoro and bolognese, and combines both with simple spices and more elaborate sauces! And especially with Alfredo sauce. The alfredo sauce is quite creamy based on cheeses and milk; the wine tip to accompany these sauces is white wines or the more delicate Reds.
Spaghetti
The best-known pasta in the world, classic and practical, is a versatile pasta that combines with various sauce, Pomodoro, Bolognese, alfredo, garlic and oil and pesto. In pesto sauce, which we have not yet talked about, white wines harmonize very well with pesto since it is a sauce based on herbs and vegetables, and are great with more acidic wines, just like white wine.
Spicy Sauces
If your pasta comes accompanied by a spicy sauce, the tip is to avoid very alcoholic wines, with medium or low alcoholic dosage, avoid wines with more intense flavours, such as those stored in Oak, as this can take the taste of pepper, opt for white and sparkling wines, more fruity and sweet options that help to highlight the flavour of Harmonization between wines and meats
If your pasta comes accompanied by red meat, such as meatballs that always come accompanied by a sauce, the best choice is Italian wines, light and traditional.
If you opt for pasta with the complement of chicken accompanied by a mild sauce, opt for wines with white and slightly striking grapes, such as chardonnay.
The sausages, such as the Italian sausage, combine mainly with dry, soft and sparkling white wine, rosé wine, and light to medium-bodied red wine.
