What Wines To Pair With Risotto

Wine and Risotto Pairings

This traditional Italian rice dish is cooked in wine, and it is definitely a dish best served with a nice glass of wine as well!

For lighter dishes, such as a fresh pea and mint risotto, you’ll ideally want something that will complement the flavours rather than be too intrusive - our refreshing yet characterful Kracher Pinot Gris will do just the trick.

Richer and more savoury risottos (mushroom or chicken for example) present an exciting opportunity to pair with either a fuller, earthier white wine (try our Babylonstoren Chardonnay) or red wine such as Pinot Noir or Kekfrankos.
