The quintessential Sunday dish across Italy, rich and flavorful, hailing from the region of Emilia and often the star of holiday tables: lasagna alla Bolognese. The question is what wine pairs well with it? Here is the advice of Sensorial Wine Analyst Luca Maroni, who points out three perfect wines to go with Lasagne alla Bolognese.
Lasagna alla Bolognese with a blend of Cesanese and Montepulciano
Roma Rosso Federici
“This is a wine of absolute analytical and sensory stature from Federici. Maximum in texture, balance and integrity the Roma Rosso DOC Classico, offers raisin-like fruit and pure spicy tropical aroma nuances. An absolute masterpiece of both viticulture and transformative enology.”
Lasagna alla Bolognese with a blend of Aglianico, Piedirosso, and Sciascinoso
Suadens Rosso Nativ
“A glass of utter value and resplendency comes from this wine by NatiV. Irpine grapes in their most consistent, balanced and whole expression of native varietal aroma. Pure blackberry in vanilla icing so majestically deep for this Suadens Rosso. That such a violet and densely blackened mass of pure fruit, here with notes of blackberry, on the palate should present itself with such bewitching suadence is superb pleasantness.”
A roundness of soft jammy cassis pulp embraces the textuality of the tannin and the lively driving force of its compositional acidity. A wine of oxidative and olfactory integrity such that its aroma bursts with the crystallinity of its formidable character. From a very sweet vein of spices sweetly glazed with superfine calibration.”

Tignanello Antinori
“A sample of uncommon analytical and sensory merit, this wine is one of Marchesi Antinori’s outstanding champions, the Tignanello, of exceptional qualitative (analytical-sensory) caricature, plunging into dense, elegant, vivid sensations of fruit, evoking a fleshy black cherry spice of admirable gustatory souplesse.”
