Which Wine to Pair the Traditional Grilled Lamb Chops with Abbacchio a Scottadito?

Across central region of Lazio traditional barbecues known as Abbacchio abound during the Easter holidays. This recipe is not to be missed if you’re in the area, but can easily be reproduced on your home barbecue anywhere. Featuring hot, grilled lamb chops, the recipe is meant to be eaten hot from the grill – thus its full name in Italian abbacchio a scottadito literally meaning to burn your fingers – the soft flavorful meat pairs perfectly with a nice glass of wine, but which to choose? Here is the advice of Sensory Wine Analyst Luca Maroni.

Grilled Lamb Chops with Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Russolo Rino Collection

“The purity of this oenological hand in every bouquet of Russolo wines, stainless and limpid is enjoyed. The balsamic Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Collezione shines with its softness of taste. A wine with a deep red colour with violet reflections, an intense, herbaceous, vinous bouquet, with notes reminiscent of wild blackberry, wild berries and plum. Strong flavour, slightly tannic and pleasantly bitterish.
