Ravioli & Wine
Stuffed Pasta with Various Fillings
Ravioli — pasta pillows stuffed with ricotta and spinach, butternut squash, meat, or mushroom — offers endless wine pairing possibilities. The filling defines the pairing: delicate cheese fillings want crisp whites; meat fillings need structured reds; sweet squash or earthy mushroom benefit from aromatic wines.
Best Wine Pairings
Clean, mineral, and gently creamy — Pinot Bianco's almond notes harmonize with fresh ricotta and wilted spinach.
Squash ravioli with sage butter calls for a slightly richer Pinot Grigio — Trentino's version has extra weight.
Soft tannins and earthy cherry notes make Dolcetto the versatile red for stuffed meat pasta.
Earthy, silky Pinot Noir is the supreme match for mushroom-filled ravioli — both share forest-floor character.
Frequently Asked Questions
What wine with cheese ravioli?
Pinot Bianco, Soave Classico, or a light Pinot Grigio — their clean mineral character pairs beautifully with fresh ricotta.
What wine with butternut squash ravioli?
The slight sweetness of squash pairs with aromatic whites like Pinot Grigio (Trentino) or a dry Gewürztraminer. Sage butter versions also work with a lightly oaked Chardonnay.
What wine with mushroom ravioli?
Pinot Noir from Burgundy or Oregon is the ultimate match. For white wine, try an aged Burgundy white or a Ribolla Gialla from Friuli.
