Description
German Salami is fat and spicy. It pairs best with something fruity and light bodied.
Salt in food softens the acidity in wine. Go for high acidity.
Fat, spicy meat also loves citrus and acidity, but avoid grassy whites like Sauvignon Blanc. Go for bubbles.
Avoid oak. Oak tends to be too complex with spicy food.
