Red · Full · Dry
Nebbiolo from a single corner of Piedmont, slow-aged into something legendary. Tar and roses, dried cherry, leather; tannins that take a decade to soften. Decant; pair with truffle, braise, or aged hard cheese.
Why it works with Black Truffle Rissoto
Nebbiolo with white Alba truffles is the Piedmontese ritual — tar, rose, and umami.
Red · Medium · Dry
Pinot Noir (red) or Chardonnay (white) from the world's most expensive dirt. Translucent, perfumed, ethereal at the top of the hierarchy; honest and pleasant lower down. Drink slowly, with reverence.
Why it works with Black Truffle Rissoto
Burgundian Pinot and truffles are the apex pairing — both about earth, restraint, and depth.
Sparkling · Light · Sweet
Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.
Why it works with Black Truffle Rissoto
Low-alcohol sparkling sweet — works with fruit, light cakes, and biscotti.
Dessert · Full · Sweet
Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.
Why it works with Black Truffle Rissoto
Sauternes is the dessert wine — honey, apricot, and acid with custards, fruit, and crème brûlée.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Port from a single declared year, aged in bottle for decades. Dense, structured, ageless; the pinnacle of fortified wine.
Why it works with Black Truffle Rissoto
Port handles richer, chocolate-and-toffee desserts with depth.
