White Wines: Made from grapes like Albarín Blanco and Godello, they are fresh, with good acidity and an interesting aromatic profile.
Pairing with Asturian Cuisine
Asturias is famous for its rich and hearty cuisine. Here are some pairing suggestions:

Fabada Asturiana: A bean stew with chorizo, blood sausage, and bacon.

Pairing: It goes well with a full-bodied red wine from Cangas that has enough structure to balance the richness of the dish.
Cachopo: Breaded and fried veal steaks stuffed with ham and cheese.

Pairing: A red wine with good acidity and structure, such as Albarín Tinto, will complement this robust dish well.
Asturian Cheeses: Asturias is famous for its cheeses, especially Cabrales, a strong blue cheese.

Pairing: White wines made from Albarín or Godello pair well with the intensity of Asturian cheeses, especially blue ones.
Fish and Seafood: With the Cantabrian coast at its feet, Asturias offers an incredible array of fresh fish and seafood.

Pairing: A white wine from Godello or Albarín Blanco is ideal for pairing with seafood dishes like Merluza a la Sidra (hake in cider) or Oricios (sea urchins).
