Welcome back to Part 2 of the Matthew "Match the Wine" Levine series on Northern Italian reds. If there’s one thing Match the Wine understands, it’s that when the occasion calls for something special, your wine should rise to the occasion. And for those bigger, more memorable moments, he recommends Nebbiolo.

Nebbiolo, the prized grape of Piedmont, is the backbone of the region’s most renowned wines—Barolo and Barbaresco. These wines are not just powerful; they’re age-worthy and complex, bursting with bold, dark red fruit, spice, licorice, and deep, earthy characteristics.

Match the Wine knows that Nebbiolo is the perfect companion for your most flavorful steaks. Whether you’re serving a tender filet, a hearty New York strip, or a robust Porterhouse, Nebbiolo’s depth and complexity will elevate your meal to extraordinary heights.

So, when you’re looking to savor a special moment,, seek out a Nebbiolo. It’s the wine that turns a great steak into an unforgettable experience. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the world of perfect pairings.

Welcome to Part 1 of the Matthew "Match the Wine" Levine series on Northern Italian reds. If there's one thing we've learned from Match the Wine, it's that red wine and red meat are a classic duo, and steak is the perfect partner.

For this installment, we're focusing on Barbera, a versatile red from the Piedmont region. Known for its bright acidity and juicy fruit flavors, Barbera often finds its way into simpler, everyday wines. But don't let that fool you—this wine still has plenty to offer when it comes to pairing.

Match the Wine suggests matching your Barbera with a nice hanger steak or tri-tip. The wine's acidity cuts through the richness of the meat, creating a balanced and satisfying experience. It’s a pairing that’s both approachable and full of flavor, perfect for your next meal.

Stay tuned as we continue exploring the world of Northern Italian reds and the steaks that complement them.
