Food pairing

Cascina Ghercina Alta Langa D.O.C.G. Brut is a perfect aperitif but is also suitable during the meal. Among the appetizers, the mind can quickly run to a series of dishes based on fish and seafood, but it’s worth to try it also in combination with pasta dishes like risotto or pasta, seasoned with vegetables and fish.
If you really want to free your imagination, Alta Langa could take other approaches, even most unconventional: a stunning course of cotechino with lentils, a traditional fondue or a series of vegetable flan. However, you mut try it with fritto misto of meat and fish, as well as with appetizing fish and vegetables barbecues.
