Pairing with Wild Mushroom Lasagna
When the weather turns cold, not everyone is looking forward to a meat-heavy meal. While there are many alternative options for people to choose from, there is something decidedly soulful and soothing about a wild mushroom lasagna that makes it a perfect fit for this time of year.
Wild mushroom lasagna is a rich dish that is full of earthy flavors and a nice dash of piquant cheese. Look for a wine that is fruity to contrast that earthiness, yet bright to handle the richness of the cream and cheese used to sauce this style of lasagna. A nice Dolcetto, full of bright, plummy fruit, can exhibit a slightly earthy edge and create a wonderful match for your lasagna.

Whoa. That is one ambitious recipe--25 ingredients!!!!!
I'll bet it's good, though--and the wine matches sound terrrific.

Interesting that these producers are all, first and foremost, Barolo producers, so presumably familiar to you as a Barolo hound. There are specialists in dolcetto, like Chionetti and Anna Maria Abbona, whose products don't treat it as an afterthought but raise it to great heights, while maintaining prices below $20. Abbona is one of the few few Piemontese female winemakers whose name goes on the label, not that of her father or husband or brother. I was lucky enough to learn of her wines while in Italy, but they are available in the US and deserve to be in the company of these. Also worthwhile are the dolcetti of Chiarlo, but not a specialist and, frankly, not in the class of Chionetti and Anna Maria Abbona.
