Pairing Great-Tasting Sangria with Good Food

Sangria is great to drink on its own because of its sweet, refreshing, fruity taste, but did you know that pairing it with the right kind of food makes it taste even better? Just as red and white wines complement certain kinds of food, sangria can also enhance the flavors of food to provide different taste sensations. This is because wine acts much like the way spices do, allowing acids, tannins and sugars in wine to interact with the food.

Carlo Rossi Sangria, with its citrusy notes of lemons, oranges and grapefruit, makes it an interesting blend that will go well with a lot of good food.

Soft or pungent cheeses are generally the good match with fruity beverages, but for Sangria, Pepper Jack is the best kind to pair it with. Sangrias are great with spicy food, as well. Perhaps an entertaining way of pairing it is to serve it with Tapas. Party fares such as calamari, fried shrimp and spicy meatballs also complement the taste of sangria.

Not to forget … Carlo Rossi Sangria is best with barbecues! Since the sauces and glaze on barbecues are quite sweet, the perfect balance of citrus fruits, sweetness and acidity in sangria makes it a great complement. At the same time, it is a refreshing contrast to the deliciously sticky, grilled meats.
There are many possibilities in pairing Carlo Rossi Sangria with food. There are no strict rules; you may even have your own food-pairing preferences. The important thing is that you are enjoying the food, the drink and the company. And because Carlo Rossi Sangria is sweet, smooth and easy to drink, even non-wine drinkers can take it.

Have lots of fun the next time you have your friends over for a fun get-together. Impress them with your food-pairing ability. Go ahead … have your own sweet time!

Carlo Rossi Sangria is available in supermarkets and wine stores in screw-cap bottles of 750 ml.
