Our proposed wine pairing for spaghetti with fried zucchini will focus on what?
On our Cortese Quarti, with a spirited soul. Cortese grapes from which we produce a white wine with delicate aromas and a gentle taste that does not overpower the sweetness of the zucchini. At the same time, with its crispness it holds its own against the unctuous part given by the frying of the dish.
Quarti is just the wine we suggest for vegetable-based first courses >>>
Perfect pairing, for lunch as well as dinner!
