Italian wine pairing in Newstead does not need a sommelier lecture. Match weight and acidity to the plate, then let Milano’s team confirm what is pouring well that week.
Tomato and herb pastas
Higher-acidity reds and crisp whites cut through tomato. If the sauce is spicy or garlicky, avoid oaky heavy reds that flatten the dish.
Creamy or cheesy plates
Richer pastas like a softer white or a medium red with gentle tannin. Bubbles also refresh the palate between bites.
By the glass vs bottle
Two people with different dishes often do better by the glass. A bottle suits sharing-style tables that settle on one flavour direction.
