Chef Cris Leite shares a meat-stuffed pancake recipe for the weekend and recommends Chilean wines to pair with the dish. The pancake is described as a classic, versatile dish that appeals to everyone, making it ideal for gathering the family around the table.
To accompany the recipe, the chef recommends Chilean wines made with the Carménère grape, considered Chile's emblematic grape. These wines typically present soft tannins, good acidity, and fruity and herbaceous aromas, characteristics that complement the acidity of tomato sauce well.
According to the specialist, the tannins in Carménère help balance the fat and intensity of the preparation, while the wine's aromas complement the flavors of the meat and sauce, maintaining the balance of the pairing.
The second recommendation is wines made with the Merlot grape, which generally present round tannins, velvety texture, and aromas of ripe red and black fruits. The softness of these wines pairs well with the juiciness of the pancake filling.
