wines for pate and pheasant

[Botafogo]

Try a Sforsato from Valtellina, these are made from the same variety (nebbiolo) as Barolo and Barbaresco so the flavors are spot on but they have the silkiness of Pinot or Amarone because the grapes are dried before pressing. Producers include Nino Negri, Sandro Fay, Sertoli Salis, Triacca, Balgera, Pellegrini.

Yummy stuff at half to one third the cost of comparable wines from other zones.
