combine with the other ingredients, such as lemon zest and marjoram, breathing life into a unique whole, a delicious sequence of surprising aromas and flavours which will win you over with every mouthful. Here it is Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero 2016, which is ideal with its top-quality assemblage adding a festive touch to the occasion. If a more delicate flavour is your thing, pappardella stuffed with pumpkin, Franciacorta and caviar with its nutmeg and shallot flavours is a phenomenal pasta dish to serve up to guests on New Year’s Eve or Christmas day. Try it with Franciacorta Satèn 2018, a wine bursting with white flower aromas. Stylish with a big personality, its finish conjures up jammy motes which go perfectly with pumpkin and caviar, a triumph of contrasting-flavour-free harmony. Occasions such as Christmas Eve and Christmas Dinner also require personality packed mains, such as braised cheek in Curtefranca rosso with Jerusalem artichokes and coffee is a dish created by chef Mauro Zacchetti. The ideal wine with this is Franciacorta Riserva Dosaggio Zero 2011, with its fine perlage cut through with pleasant toasted bread aromas. The overall effect is an all-encompassing equilibrium which feels like a warm embrace. As an alternative to the ‘usual’ turkey, guinea fowl is a Christmas ingredient that everyone loves. It can be served up in a sophisticated barbecued version with spinach and truffle cream. Franciacorta Riserva Brut 2008 goes well with this dish, offering a sophisticated and memorable choice, cutting through the dish’s richness. And for an ideal finish, a slice of panettone by master pastry chef Giovanni Cavalleri. Happy Christmas and New Year. Cheers everyone!
