How should you pair white wine? Dry, fruity, or sparkling? Whether as an aperitif or paired with a seafood dish, white wine is undoubtedly a must. However, choosing the perfect label for the occasion can be challenging. Our online wine shop offers tailored suggestions for each product—here are some guidelines: for lean fish dishes, whether boiled, grilled, or steamed, opt for delicate, fresh white wines with moderate acidity and medium alcohol content, such as Pinot Grigio or Alto Adige Sauvignon. More flavourful, well-seasoned dishes pair well with full-bodied whites like Verdicchio di Matelica. Shellfish, on the other hand, are best complemented by aromatic wines such as Alto Adige Gewürztraminer. For fried or smoked fish, a fine sparkling wine is the recommended choice. Beyond traditional pairings, white wine can also beautifully accompany meat dishes, risottos, truffles, and soft or fresh cheeses.
White wine is undoubtedly a favourite during the warm season, yet its diverse characteristics and varieties make it a delightful choice for any occasion. In general, the key elements that define a white wine include acidity, alcohol content, persistence, and structure. Whether golden, amber, or straw-yellow, the colour of white wine is a direct result of the skin removal process during vinification.
