AT THE TABLE

Shepherd’s pie with rosemary

The lamb and soft potato balance the firm grip, while rosemary joins the savoury notes.

SOMETHING SIMPLE

Slow-cooked beef bolognese

A rich meat sauce gives the dark fruit and oak enough flavour to meet.

FOR SHARING

Baked macaroni with mature cheddar

The rich cheese softens the tannins and suits the chocolate and vanilla notes.

Also good

Shepherd’s pie has enough savoury richness for the plum, oak and firm grip.

Skip

Plain poached fish will lose its delicate flavour beside this rich red.

Perseveranza: a new chapter in the hills of Le Marche

Arjen and Lenja began their Italian wine adventure in 2021, taking on a farm near Petritoli with vines and olive trees on its slopes. The cellar is built into the hillside to keep temperatures steady, with grapes arriving above the winemaking rooms. Local varieties such as Pecorino, Passerina and Montepulciano connect this new chapter to the surrounding Marche countryside.
