Albino Armani 1607 Pinot Grigio Valdadige DOC Veneto Italy 🇮🇹 2020

Introducing a food and wine pairing that can cool you down under the brutal summer heat: Taiwanese Cold Noodle (Liang Mian) with Italian Pinot Grigio 

Growing up in Taiwan, a subtropical island, summer is always hot and humid. Taiwanese Cold Noodle is a dish I can’t live without. It’s an easy fix and requires minimum cooking. (You only need to cook the noodles, and the rest are chopping and mixing )

The highlight of the dish is the sesame dressing. Chinese sesame paste (or tahini), sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar and garlic puree are all you need.

You can add a variety of toppings, but julienned cucumber is a must. I’d like to keep the toppings simple, because you need to cut all the ingredients to equal thickness and length, which takes some time to do.

I picked Albino Armani 1607 Pinot Grigio Valdadige DOC from Veneto, Italy to go with Taiwanese Cold Noodles.

The light bodied Pinot Grigio displays lemon curd, ripe yellow peach, and yogurt with round mouthfeel and bright acidity. It goes unbelievably well with the sesame dressing and brings out the sweetness of the egg and ham.

What are you waiting for? Go get the ingredients and wine ready. Try this pairing over the weekend. I look forward to hearing what you think.

Stay cool and have a chilled summer!
