A Tuscan Thanksgiving: Perfect Pairings with Podere La Marronaia Wines

Thanksgiving is all about traditions—fluffy mashed potatoes, golden turkey, and a table groaning under the weight of too much pie. But what if we gave this American classic a Tuscan twist? Picture this: your Thanksgiving favorites elevated with the perfect sip of wine from the enchanting hills of Podere La Marronaia.

Because let’s face it, everything tastes better with a splash of Tuscany in the mix. 🍷✨

Here’s a Thanksgiving menu with wine pairings so divine, your guests might just toast you in Italian by the end of the night. Salute! 🥂

Thanksgiving starts with nibbling (and maybe sneaking bites of the stuffing), so let’s kick it off with something chic yet cozy: sweet potato crostini.

Think crisp baguette slices topped with roasted sweet potato, creamy goat cheese, and a sprinkle of pecans.

Wine Pairing: Visila della Marronaia our Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG

Pair this sweet-savory bite with our Visila della Marronaia, Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, a white wine as crisp as autumn air. Its vibrant notes of green apple and almond balance the sweetness of the crostini perfectly.

Plus, it’s a conversation starter—did you know Vernaccia was Dante’s wine of choice?

Turkey is the undisputed star of Thanksgiving.

This version is basted with butter and fresh Tuscan herbs like rosemary, sage, and thyme for a fragrant, golden masterpiece.

Wine Pairing: Nottolo della Marronaia, Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG

A dish this classic needs a wine with equal star power. Nottolo della Marronaia, our Chianti Colli Senesi delivers with its bold cherry and earthy notes.

The wine’s balanced acidity cuts through the richness of the turkey and gravy, keeping every bite fresh and flavorful.

Forget plain mashed potatoes—this is Thanksgiving in Tuscany, so we’re tossing in a drizzle of our Truffle Condiment for that luxurious, earthy aroma.

Wine Pairing: Quattrorsi della Marronaia IGT Super Tuscan

A glass of the our Quattrorsi della Marronaia is pure decadence and pairs beautifully with truffle. The silky tannins and hints of blackberry and spice add depth to this creamy side dish, making it worthy of center stage on your plate.

Even Brussels sprouts can have a glow-up with the right treatment.

Tossed with balsamic glaze, pancetta, and a sprinkle of pecorino cheese, these caramelized bites will convert even the most skeptical of sprout-haters.

Wine Pairing: Raggio d’Anfora della Marronaia, Vernaccia fermented in Terracotta Jars

For something unexpected, pair this dish with our Raggio d’Anfora della Marronaia. Its creamy and honey hints pair perfectly to the umami-packed sprouts.

Plus, its deep gold orangish hue is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Thanksgiving isn’t complete without pie. But why not add an Italian twist? Swap the traditional whipped cream for a dollop of mascarpone cheese lightly dusted with cinnamon.

Wine Pairing: Quarzo della Marronaia, Sangiovese Sparkling Rosé

Nothing says celebration like a sparkling wine! Our Quarzo della Marronaia is the perfect wine to end the meal, leaving a sparkling and festive note on the palate and in the spirit.

Its luscious notes of cherries, plums and its floral notes of roses contrast and clen the palate from the warm spices of pumpkin pie, creating a pairing so good, your guests might ask for seconds (of the wine, too).

Thanksgiving may be American at heart, but adding a touch of Tuscan elegance makes it unforgettable. With Podere La Marronaia’s wines, you’re not just serving food—you’re serving an experience.

So this year, raise your glass, savor the moment, and give thanks for good food, great wine, and the joy of bringing people together. Buon appetito e salute! 🦃🍷
