Good Italian desserts deserve a great bottle of Italian dessert wine. They range from light, sparkling wines (such as Moscato D’Asti) to rare and premium bottles such as Vin Santo or Passito di Pantelleria.
Don’t be afraid to complement your wonderful desserts with the right wine: follow our tips below!
Chocolate Soufflé
Chocolate Soufflé is a rich, indulgent dessert. Given its richness, it would pair well with a full-bodied, sweet, and high-alcohol fortified wine like Port or Banyuls. These wines usually have an ABV above 15%, allowing them to complement the strong chocolate flavors effectively.
