Description

A bright and acidic wine with a good fruit is needed to complement the oils in Fried Squid.

Fried food loves Bubbles. Bubbles cut through any sharpness and add a delicate sweetness to the Squid.

Champagne is extravagant. Dry Prosecco is perfect.

Franciacorta contrasts the fried taste, Falanghina is citrusy and acidic, Vermentino adds minerality and sapidity.
