Red · Medium · Dry
Piedmont's everyday red and Italy's secret food wine — high acid, low tannins, juicy red cherry, and a touch of earth. Pairs effortlessly with anything red-sauce.
Why it works with Veal Saltimboca
A mid-weight Barbera flatters Veal Saltimboca without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
Why it works with Veal Saltimboca
Surprising pairing: Pinot Noir's lift makes Veal Saltimboca feel less heavy. Serve slightly chilled.
Red · Medium · Dry
The soul of Tuscany — bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a savory line of acidity that craves tomato sauce. Chianti is the everyday face; Brunello is its serious cousin.
Why it works with Veal Saltimboca
Sangiovese's gentle structure complements Veal Saltimboca's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.
