The easiest plan and personal favourite solution would be an entire meal paired with sparkling wine and rosé — yes, just bubbles and pink — and why not? They should be dry but not too dry, with bright notes of ripe fruits, along with some juicy acidity to create freshness and balance. If you’re not ready for just bubbles, look for interesting white wines with crisp savoury notes such as Chardonnay, Vermentino, soft expressions of Sauvignon Blanc, Pecorino and dry Riesling. For red wines, lean towards light-to-medium-bodied with fresh juicy fruits (not over ripe and jammy) along with spice and/or herbaceous notes such as Cabernet Franc, Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt, Gamay, Grenache and Pinot Noir.
