Pairing Notes: With their high acidity and tart flavor, tomatoes aren’t the easiest food to pair with wine—but Cartograph’s Sangiovese has notes of sun-dried tomatoes, which are a perfect complement to the rich mozzarella and earthy eggplant.
Chef’s Tip: Selecting eggplant can be a challenging task. Try to shop for small eggplants with smooth, shiny skin and no blemishes, cuts or wrinkles. For Alan's tomato sauce recipe for this dish, click on the recipe found at "2012 Upton Vineyard Sangiovese Tomato Sauce for the Eggplant Parmigiana".
