Wine Princess suggests
To best enjoy this extremely tasty spring dish, combine with a white Oltrepò Pavese wine, scented, aromatic and slightly sparkling.
From the Cantina Monsupello, Torricella Verzate, Pavia, I Germogli (88% Pinot noir and 12% Chardonnay). A lively white wine made using whole cluster pressing, slightly sparkling thanks to the addition of sweet must and yeast.
The fine bubbles of this wine – which is extremely easy to drink, just 12% alcohol – will also make our rich dish lighter.
Who should drink it: all! Especially women! So light and delightful, even those who usually do not drink will love it!
When to drink it: as an aperitif or with soups, pasta, light starters and egg dishes.
A wonderful opportunity: on a Sunday, during a picnic or a brunch. Just one glass won’t be enough!
