With their crisp acidity and fresh fruit flavors, Sicily’s wines are versatile when it comes to food pairing. In general, white wines are better with lighter-bodied foods and fresh cheeses, while reds pair naturally with richer dishes. That said, white wine lovers can rely on Grillo to complement the entire meal, from pasta to grilled white meats and goat cheese. And the go-to for red-wine lovers is Nero d’Avola, which matches with everything from antipasti to grilled meats.
Enhance your brunch with a bowl full of flavor from the Middle East. This savory oatmeal topped with a fried egg, chopped walnuts and aromatic za’atar is complemented alongside a refreshing glass of Grillo from Sicilia DOC.
