🍷 Grapestained in the Kitchen: Recipes to Pair with Sangiovese

Three humble but mighty Tuscan dishes to pair with Fabio Giannetti’s Brunello di Montalcino

The soul of Tuscany isn’t just found in its wines. It bubbles up from the bottom of a Dutch oven, it soaks into stale bread, it clings to the side of your tagliatelle. This week, we’re going full apron-on, sauce-splattered, wine-glass-in-hand to celebrate three humble but mighty dishes that taste like Tuscany—and beg to be paired with Sangiovese.

Better yet? They beg to be paired with Fabio Giannetti’s Brunello di Montalcino. And we’ve got just the bottle.

🍴 Scarpetta Club Exclusive

These three recipes are reserved for Scarpetta Club members only — our inner circle of eaters, drinkers, and flavor-seekers. They’re built to pair with Sangiovese in all its forms, but especially with the bold beauty of Fabio’s Brunello.

  • Ragù

  • Peposo

  • Pappa al Pomodoro
