Wine Box Piatti Piccanti (3bt)

The Wine Box Spicy Dishes is a selection of products chosen by Callmewine specifically for pairing with spicy dishes. The spiciness in dishes is a sensory perception mainly due to the use of chili or pepper in the preparation of the raw material or during the execution of the recipe. This sensation is due to the stimulation of heat receptors present in human mucous membranes by substances contained in spicy foods, such as capsaicin and piperine. Other foods containing compounds that stimulate the perception of spiciness include mustard, horseradish, wasabi, garlic, onion, shallots, and some types of turnips.

The Wine Box Spicy Dishes includes three bottles specifically designed for pairing with spicy dishes, whether they are Italian or from some ethnic cuisines. Pairing with spicy cuisine is one of the most complex food-wine pairings, which must take into account the partially anesthetizing sensation that spicy foods exert on our taste buds. It is clear that the pairing with excessively spicy dishes will not allow you to fully experience the taste of the wine. Instead, when the spiciness is moderate, the characteristics of the wine and the dish can enhance each other.

The labels in the Wine Box Spicy Dishes have been selected by the sommeliers of Callmewine for their ability to pair wonderfully with flavorful spicy cuisine, some ideal for Italian dishes like pasta alla nduja and others pairable with ethnic dishes such as those from Indian, Thai, or Mexican cuisine.
