Tra i vini che potrebbero accompagnare questi piatti, c’è il pregiatissimo D.O.C. Cabernet di Atina e il Cesanese del Piglio. Moltissime poi le specialità dei singolo centri, come il tartufo di Campoli Appennino, il prosciutto di Guercino, il pecorino D.O.P di Picinisco, il peperone di Pontecorvo D.O.P., i fagioli di Atina e molto altro ancora… per non svelare tutte le meraviglie di questa piccola, grande terra!
