Be Inspired Wine Pairing – Persian

Grape Vines - red grapes and roses

In collaboration with Roberto Dessanti of Euro Concepts

Complete your vicarious Persian culinary tour with these wines chosen to complement the menus.

While it hasn’t been legal to sell or consume wine in Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution, archaeological evidence shows it was one of the earliest wine producing regions with a viniculture tradition stretching back thousands of years. The southern city of Shiraz is said to be the ancestral home of the grape of the same name. Persian food marries very well with wine, especially fuller bodied whites and reds with rounded complexity to match the rich, bold favours.

Menu 1 – Borgo Magredo Sauvignon 2019, Grave del Friuli DOC

This sauvignon blanc from northeastern Italy is one of the most food friendly wines I know. It has a lovely floral nose and full, round palate with a trace of herbal notes to match the frittata and enough acid to marry with the barberries in the main course.


Menu 2 – Podere don Catado Negroamaro 2019, Salento IGT

This medium-bodied red is all dark fruit and cigar box, a great match with the earthy spices in the lamb braise. I think I even detect a hint of rose petal echoing that in the advieh spice blend.


Menu 3 – Domain Road Vineyard Defiance Pinot Gris 2022, Central Otago, NZ

This delicious Alsatian-style pinot gris has a touch of residual sweetness to balance the orange sauce and enough body to wrap around the salmon. There’s a trace of bitterness on the finish that I love too.


Menu 4 – Wills Domain Mystic Spring Rosé 2022, Margaret River, WA

Made from free-run shiraz juice, this pale pink rosé smells floral but tastes completely savoury. It has good acid levels to refresh the palate between spoonfuls of the rich soup and to match the tangy yoghurt dip and grilled tomatoes with the lamb kebabs.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Awesome fun traveling through Emilia-Romagna experiencing first hand some of the produce I've worked with over the last couple of years cooking with Roberta's classes – the family are reaping the benefits now.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
