Celebrate Easter the Italian Way: Pairing Non-Alcoholic Wines with Traditional Dishes

Easter in Italy is more than just a holiday—it’s a feast that brings family and friends together to celebrate tradition, renewal, and, of course, incredible food. From north to south, Italian tables overflow with classic dishes that have been passed down for generations. And what’s a feast without the perfect drink?

For those who prefer a sophisticated, alcohol-free option, non-alcoholic wines offer the same depth and complexity as traditional wines while allowing everyone to partake in the celebration. Whether you’re hosting a full Italian Easter lunch or just want to add a touch of authenticity to your meal, here’s how to pair non-alcoholic wines with Italy’s most beloved Easter dishes.

Start with Antipasti & HUP Alcohol-Free Spumante

Every Italian Easter meal begins with a variety of antipasti—small bites meant to wake up the palate. Expect a spread of marinated artichokes, olives, fresh cheeses, and Torta Pasqualina, a traditional Easter pie filled with spinach, ricotta, and eggs.

A fresh, bubbly option like HUP Alcohol-Free Spumante is the perfect match. Its crisp citrus notes and lively bubbles cut through the richness of the ricotta and balance the earthiness of the vegetables. Plus, its celebratory feel makes it a fantastic way to kick off your Easter gathering.

Pair Roast Lamb with Spritz Arione Alcohol-Free Spritz

In many Italian households, Easter lunch wouldn’t be complete without Agnello al forno—roast lamb seasoned with rosemary and garlic, served alongside golden roasted potatoes. Traditionally paired with bold reds, this dish can take on a new twist with Spritz Arione Alcohol-Free Spritz.

This alcohol-free take on the classic Italian aperitif has a slightly bitter, citrusy edge that contrasts beautifully with the richness of the lamb. The herbal notes echo the rosemary seasoning, while the bright effervescence cuts through the fattiness, keeping each bite flavorful and balanced.

Classic Pasta Dishes & The Right Non-Alcoholic Wine

Depending on where you are in Italy, Easter might feature lasagna, baked pasta, or risotto as a main course. A hearty lasagna with tomato sauce pairs well with a structured non-alcoholic red, while a creamy risotto with spring vegetables shines alongside a light, crisp non-alcoholic white.

For pasta primavera, a dish loaded with seasonal vegetables, a bright, fruit-forward non-alcoholic wine enhances the fresh flavors while adding a refined touch.

End on a Sweet Note with HUP Alcohol-Free Spumante

Easter desserts are just as important as the main meal. The most famous is Colomba di Pasqua, a dove-shaped sweet bread similar to panettone, flavored with candied orange and topped with almonds and pearl sugar.

A dessert like this deserves something equally festive, and HUP Alcohol-Free Spumante is the perfect choice. Its fine bubbles and balanced sweetness complement the soft, citrus-infused cake, making each bite feel even more indulgent.
