Best sparkling wine pairings for the holidays, according to Michelin-starred chefs – Italian Cuisine


Bubbles for the whole meal to celebrate the Christmas holidays: here are the best traditional dishes to combine with Franciacorta, according to star chefs such as Massimo Bottura and Davide Oldani

Looking for impeccable combinations for the holiday menus? Franciacorta is the wine for you, chef's word.

Franciacorta, Michelin Italy's Destination Partner this year, interviewed the starred chefs on the themes of sustainability, Italian gastronomic excellence, but also on dishes recommended for parties in combination with Franciacorta.

Thanks to its different types, each with a very specific personality, Franciacorta is able to adapt to different needs and dishes, enhancing the aromaticity of the ingredients, softening the strong tastes and perfectly counterbalancing the fatty components.
Any examples to copy? THE tortellini in broth in combination with a Franciacorta Satèn, the classic spaghetti with clams spotted with Piennolo tomato in combination with a Franciacorta Rosé and it stockfish in combination with a Franciacorta Riserva.
