Santa Giustina Barbera Colli Piacentini

January 27, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

In this week’s Scheff’s Table column, I featured my recipe for pasta carbonara made with duck fat. It’s a deliciously decadent dish. Pairing wine with carbonara sauce can be tricky due to the creaminess of the sauce, smoky bacon, and salty cheese flavors. So I usually turn to a fruity, low-tannin red wine with a touch of acidity to cut through those creamy, cheesy, salty and … [Read more...]

A Beautiful Tuscan Red Wine

October 8, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

It’s back to Italy this week for some sips of a beautiful Tuscan red wine: Le Volte dell'Ornellaia 2019 ($34.00). It’s a luscious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese from carefully selected Ornellaia sites, and each varietal is fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their varietal characteristics before blending.  The wine is full-bodied with … [Read more...]

Russiz Superiore Cabernet Franc

Refreshing, Crisp Italian Wine: 2018 Zenato Lugana di San Benedetto

February 28, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I’ve been on a bit of an Italian wine kick lately. That’s partly because I keep coming across wonderful wine values from Italy, like this one: 2018 Zenato Lugana di San Benedetto, priced at a mere $16.99 here in Utah. Zenato Lugana is made from 100% Trebbiano grapes - one of the most widely planted wine grape varietals in the world. The grapes were harvested from Zenato’s … [Read more...]

A Versatile Italian Rose: Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello

February 21, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Last week in this column I wrote about a nifty new wine discovery from Italy called Casanova di Neri IrROSSO. This week, I’m turning my attention to another really great Italian wine. This one is a Rosé: Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello 2018 ($21.99). Masseria Li Veli is a winery in Italy’s Apulia region, founded and operated since 1999 by the Falvo family. They’ve … [Read more...]

Affordable Italian Sangiovese from CAPARZO, Perfect Pairing for Pasta with Red Sauce

January 24, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

CAPARZO Toscana Sangiovese 2018 In my opinion, there’s no better wine pairing for pasta with rich red sauce - like the “Sunday Gravy” featured in this week’s Scheff’s Table - than Italian Sangiovese. I recently came across a really good, very affordable Italian Sangiovese from CAPARZO that was a perfect pairing for pappardelle with Sunday gravy. Priced at a mere $11.99, … [Read more...]
