Dish: Moroccan Lamb Ragu

Wine: Ricossa Barbaresco Antica Casa

This month's pairing highlights the bold, aromatic flavors of Chef Ed Aloise’s Moroccan Lamb Ragu—a dish layered with warm spices and tender meat—perfectly complemented by the refined structure and earthy elegance of Ricossa Barbaresco Antica Casa. The wine’s bright acidity and nuanced tannins enhance the richness of the ragu, creating a balanced and immersive tasting experience that showcases the beauty of Old World wines with globally inspired cuisine.
