It also pairs beautifully with hearty pasta dishes, like lasagna or ravioli, and flavorful cheeses, like cheddar or gouda. For a more casual pairing, try it with a burger topped with caramelized onions or a pizza with spicy sausage. Don't be afraid to experiment and discover your own favorite combinations. The Salton Intenso Malbec is sure to elevate any meal. This Malbec can be enjoyed in good company, around 16 °C. It is not a wine which needs to rest before, so it can be opened when needed.
