Wine & Food Pairing: What wine to drink with Pumpkin ? (5 recipes)

On this early fall day we invite you to discover two seasonal vegetables: Potiron and Potimarron (squash) .

The Potimarron is a variety of pumpkin close to Potiron. They are both parts of the Cucurbitaceae family and are native to South America. The Potiron is a delicious vegetable. It has a thick flesh with a lively orange color and a sweet taste. The Potimarron (squash) also has a thick flesh but with a slightly mealy texture. The taste reminds mashed chestnuts. It is less sweet than the Potiron.

Below there are some Wine & Food Pairing suggestions to match with five different Pumpkin recipes.
