Your Guide To The Best Pasta and Wine Pairings in London at Noci
At Noci, we believe pasta and wine pairings provide an experience, and a reason to linger a little longer. But with so many styles and sauces, it can be tricky to know what wine works best with what dish.
To make things easier, we’ve curated our Perfect Pairings menu featuring four of our favourite pasta and wine combinations that you can try right here in London at Noci Battersea. From the rolling vineyards of Tuscany to the citrus groves of Sicily, every dish on our menu tells a story, and every glass of wine brings it to life.
1. Strozzapreti with Creamed Courgettes & Sauvignon Blanc
Fresh, fragrant, and plant-based, our hand-rolled strozzapreti is tangled with creamed courgettes, bright lemon, and basil, finished with the subtle crunch of pine nuts.
We recommend pairing this with a Sauvignon Blanc from Veneto – fresh, herbaceous, and aromatic with notes of elderflower. This wine’s acidity lifts the lemon, while its green notes compliment the basil for a clean, garden-fresh bite in every sip.
Best enjoyed on Shoreditch’s sunny terrace or Richmond’s leafy streets.
2. Brown Butter Cacio e Pepe & Trebbiano
Rich simplicity meets zesty refreshment. Our brown butter cacio e pepe is a classic, perfectly paired with a glass of Trebbbiano from Emilia-Romagna.
It’s light and citrusy, bringing out the nuttiness of the cheese while cutting through the buttery base. A pairing that balances comfort with brightness.
Perfect for a late lunch in Battersea with good friends and no rush.
3. Amatriciana & Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Amatriciana is all about balance, sweet Datterini tomatoes, salty guanciale, and rich pecorino. Our ziti catches every bit of sauce in its hollow centre. Designed to match with a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, full-bodied, juicy with dark berries and a touch of liquorice, where both pasta and wine complement each other without overpowering.
This one’s made for Shoreditch evenings and second glasses.
4. Chianti & Beef Shin Ragu & Chianti Riserva
Wide ribbons of pappardelle capture every bit of our slow-cooked Chianti and beef shin ragu, layered with rosemary, truffle, and a delicate shallot crumb. It’s rich, earthy, and full of flavour.
The Chianti Riserva is the natural partner, aged and expressive, with blackberry, cedar and balsamic notes. Together, it’s a slow-food moment, where you savour every bite and sip.
Best shared in Islington with candlelight and conversation.
