Pasta and wine, the classic duo, Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec 2021 is the wine we will be pairing with our recipe. A wine from Mendoza, which on the nose is fresh and intensely fruity, we can perceive fruits such as blackberries, plums, and strawberries, along with aromas of violets and mountain spices typical of cold climate Malbecs. On the palate it is fresh, tends to be dry and with a light body.

The ideal pairing for this delicious Malbec is our Pasta with Marinara Sauce. Its ingredients are basic: tomato puree, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and a touch of oregano. To balance the acidity of the tomatoes we always add a touch of sugar.

We invite you to try this pairing, in its simplicity it is a delight for the palate! You can find the wine Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec 2021 in Vinoteca stores.

This wine is very versatile and can be accompanied with multiple dishes of grilled beef or pork. Dishes with tomato sauce and chocolate desserts with red fruits or nuts.
