Wine Paring: Danese Pinot Noir Trevenezie IGT 2017, Italy

This decadent dish offers melt-in-the-mouth lamb with a comforting, thick lentil broth, mopped up beautifully with a piping hot naan bread. This dish demanded Pinot Noir, so we chose the Danese Pinot Noir Trevenezie IGT. Light and fresh, this wine is full of soft, dark berry fruit flavours, with hints of fresh herbs. The lamb has a sweetness, which is tempered by the Kashmiri chilli, ginger and garlic, with coriander adding freshness, and the wine works on all the same levels; bringing dry savoury notes to the sweet berry fruits. A perfect match!
