Truffle is delicate yet persistent: elegant, unobtrusive wines with good acidity and a clean aromatic profile are recommended. Here are practical pairings for each dish, organized by type of truffle.

|---|---|---|---|
| Precious White Truffle (Tuber magnatum) | Appetizers (eggs, fondue, butter + truffle) | Roero Arneis DOCG, Langhe Chardonnay (unoaked), Soave Classico, Champagne Blanc de Blancs (low dosage) | Elegant, light, unobtrusive, clean aroma |
| Precious White Truffle (Tuber magnatum) | First Courses (tajarin, risotto, buttered pasta) | Young Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba, Nebbiolo d’Alba (unoaked), Chablis or Bourgogne Blanc | Avoid strong oak |
| Precious White Truffle (Tuber magnatum) | Delicate Second Courses (veal, carpaccio, tartare) | Young Barbaresco, Langhe Nebbiolo, Alto Adige Pinot Noir | Keep wine subtle to not overpower truffle |
| Winter Black Truffle, Scorzone, Bianchetto | Appetizers (crostini, butter, cheeses) | Alto Adige Sauvignon Blanc, Friulano, lightly oaked Chardonnay | Wines can be slightly bolder |
| Winter Black Truffle, Scorzone, Bianchetto | First Courses (tagliatelle, stuffed pasta, gnocchi) | Chianti Classico, Barbera Superiore, Lagrein, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (not too ripe) | Structured wines complement earthy flavors |

| Winter Black Truffle, Scorzone, Bianchetto | First Courses (risottos, pasta, rustic dishes) | Structured Pinot Grigio, Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, Rosso di Montalcino, Frappato | Medium-bodied wines highlight truffle aroma |
| Winter Black Truffle, Scorzone, Bianchetto | Simple Second Courses (eggs, light meats) | Valpolicella Classico, Schiava, Beaujolais | Gentle wines that won’t overpower delicate truffle |
