Fall is approaching, and with it comes the time of year dedicated to the rice harvest and the grape harvest. Rice and wine are two classic pairings with Gorgonzola Pdo.
To enjoy a delicious risotto with Gorgonzola Pdo, choosing the right type of rice is essential. If you want a creamy dish with well-separated, al dente grains, Carnaroli is ideal for incorporating the Gorgonzola Pdo while stirring in the cream. Alternatively, you can use Vialone Nano, which pairs perfectly with strong-flavored blue cheeses, such as spicy Gorgonzola Pdo.
To balance the dish, you can choose an aromatic and spicy white wine like Gewürztraminer or the mineral and acidic notes of a Riesling. If you prefer spicy Gorgonzola Pdo, or if you’re using additional ingredients like radicchio, pears, or walnuts, the best choice might be full-bodied, tannic reds that pair perfectly with the blue-veined cheese, such as Barbera, Gattinara, Barolo, Valpolicella Ripasso, or Amarone.
