NEBBIOLO PAIRED WITH SMOKY MUSHROOM MAC & CHEESE

 Here’s another great food pairing and a couple of enjoyable examples of Nebbiolo “beyond the B’s” of Barolo and Barbaresco. The high acidity and tannins in Nebbiolo make it a great partner for rich foods as the two balance each other nicely. Mac & cheese fills the bill nicely, and the addition of the mushrooms adds to the richness and contributes a nice umami earthy flavor. If you have the ability to smoke the mushrooms, all the better.
