Description
Tortellini are ring-shaped Pasta from Emilia-Romagna,
traditionally stuffed with:
Meat, Cheese, Egg and Nutmeg, and served in Broth.
Tortellini are a savoury and fat soup and red Lambrusco with its light body, red berry flavors, acidity and bubbles that cut through the fat is the best choice.
Tortellini should be paired with a medium red wine or a bold white wine.
It is a dish from Emilia-Romagna, and you should try to pair it with an wine from that region.
Ribolla Gialla is from Friuli but its spicy notes match the nutmeg in the stuffing.
