Ice cream is the dessert par excellence during the hottest months of the year. As with any sweet, it is possible to make a wine pairing with your favorite ice cream.
We propose an original way to refresh yourself with the best combinations between the most popular ice cream flavors and your favorite wines, although like everything that has to do with the world of wine and gastronomy, experimenting and having fun is essential to enjoy the experience. .
In order not to make mistakes in your ice cream and wine pairing You can keep this simple rule in mind: dairy-based ice creams combine better with white wines with a greater presence of sugar. Fruit sorbets, however, pair better with rosé wines or drier sparkling wines. As they are not fatty, they can also be accompanied by more unctuous and fruity young reds.
Red wine and chocolate ice cream
The higher the percentage of cocoa, the more wood the wine you choose as an accompaniment may have.
Milk chocolate ice creams pair best with young red wines, with little acidity and fruity aromas. As for grape varieties, syrah, pinot noir or red grenache work well.
Dark chocolate allows it to be paired with aged wines and spicy aromas. Enjoy your chocolate ice cream with wines made with varieties such as Malbec or Monastrell. A Rioja is a safe option for this pairing.
Rosé sparkling wine and dried fruit ice cream
Ice creams with nuts such as almond, pistachio, nougat ice cream or toasted flavored ice creams make a good team with rosé or young red sparkling wines in which red fruits predominate.
Port is a good accompaniment to hazelnut, walnut or almond ice cream. It also works with toasted cream ice cream or cookie ice cream. Young reds from varieties such as syrah or pinot noir can surprise you.
Sparkling wine and citrus ice cream
Citrus fruits such as lemon, tangerine or orange have an undisputed winning companion: cava. With a brut nature cava you will be sure to offer a pairing to everyone's taste. If you want a less obvious combination, try pairing your citrus sorbets with a Bobal variety wine.
White wine and tropical fruits
Fruits such as pineapple, mango or coconut need wines with similar aromatic profiles to shine. Choose a young white if you are looking for an aromatic profile reminiscent of pineapple or kiwi.
More mature white wines are also a good option if you prefer aromas such as melon, lychee or banana. The queen variety to pair tropical fruit ice creams is Chardonnay.
We invite you to try any of these pairings. And remember, in our online store you have the widest range of accessories for true wine lovers and you can prepare your own ice cream with our silicone ice cream molds following our recipes for the 5 most searched ice creams on the internet.
