Cabernet Sauvignon

Classic 7 dishes

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Malbec

Classic 7 dishes

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Provence's most serious red — Mourvèdre-dominated, structured, savory, with notes of black olive, leather, and Mediterranean herb. The age-worthy alternative to a southern Rhône.

Why it works with Melon And Prosciutto Di Parma (ham)

Bandol and Melon And Prosciutto Di Parma (ham) make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Red · Medium · Dry

Veneto's pale, friendly red — the same Corvina-based blend as Valpolicella, made lighter and fresher. Drinks like a serious rosé; serve slightly chilled.

Why it works with Melon And Ham

Lighter than a Cabernet, Bardolino Docg Red still has the weight to match Melon And Ham's body.

Bordeaux's affordable shadow just to the east — same grape blends, simpler structure, much lower prices. The everyday red of southwest France.

Bergerac and Melon With Parma Ham make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Red · Medium · Dry

Bordeaux's affordable shadow just to the east — same grape blends, simpler structure, much lower prices. The everyday red of southwest France.

Why it works with Melon And Ham

Bergerac Red's gentle structure complements Melon And Ham's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.

White · Medium · Dry

Italian for 'white' — usually a regional white wine name (Bianco di Custoza, Bianco d'Alcamo). Always made for the table.

Why it works with Melon With Parma Ham

Bianco Di Scandiano's body and acid balance Melon With Parma Ham's flavor profile.
