Lovatelli Monferrato DOC Nebbiolo 2022

If you love red wine and want to try something different, you might like to try Lovatelli Monferrato DOC Nebbiolo 2022 from Italy and imported and distributed in the United States by Royal Wine Corp. The Nebbiolo grape varietal hails from the Piemonte (Piedmont) region of Italy and has rich fruit and floral notes on the nose that follow through on the palate with enough tannins to give it structure. We found it to be delicious and paired it with Italian comfort food, Luxury Experience – Pasta Fagioli made with sauteed Vidalia onions, garlic, zucchini, fresh tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, canned crushed tomatoes, and fresh herbs, and enhanced it with Lovatelli Monferrato Nebbiolo 2022 to create a rich sauce to mix with pasta. Saluti and Mangia Bene!

Lovatelli Monferrato DOC Nebbiolo 2022, Italy 

Bottle Notes: “Contemporary classics, Lovatelli wines are made with modern techniques based on centuries of tradition. From North to South, Lovatelli wines are produced in some of Italy’s most iconic wine-producing regions, as well as some unique areas, each one providing direct characteristics that are sure to delight. Enjoy the authenticity of true Italian craftsmanship in every bottle. Ruby red with garnet hints. The nose offers dried red fruit, floral notes, and hints of sweet spice. The palate offers ripe cherry and berry fruits balanced by a lightly toasty, savory complexity with finely grained tannins. Enjoy with rich meat stew and pasta dishes. Mevushal, and Kosher for Passover.”

Tasting Notes: The color is ruby red, and you can see through the wine. The nose is aromatic, with dried red fruit, dark cherries, and spice on the palate. Tannins provide structure, and although drinkable now, could also spend some time in the cellar to elicit the best from the wine.

Luxury Experience Pairing

Luxury Experience – Pasta Fagioli

With the waning days of summer and an abundance of zucchini and fresh tomatoes at the farmers market, we paired this delicious Nebbiolo wine with Italian comfort food, Luxury Experience – Pasta Fagioli (pronounced FAH-ZOOL). We sauteed Vidalia onions, garlic, zucchini, fresh tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, canned crushed tomatoes, and fresh herbs, and enhanced it with Lovatelli Monferrato DOC Nebbiolo 2022 to create a rich sauce to mix with pasta. As they say in Italy, “Mangia Bene!” (Eat well.)

Luxury Experience – Pasta Fagioli
Serves 6 as a main course.

Ingredients:

Method for the Vegetables: Heat a sauté pan, add the EVOO, then onions and garlic, cover and sweat them until translucent. Add zucchini and fresh tomatoes, and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the sundried tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, cannellini beans, salt, pepper, and herbs, cover, and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add the wine and let the sauce and vegetables simmer for 20 minutes.

Boil pasta (we used Radiators) and cook until al dente (or your preferred doneness), drain, then mix the pasta with the vegetable and bean sauce. Serve with freshly ground Pecorino Romano cheese and garnish with fresh basil.

Until next time, Saluti and Mangia Bene!
