Fragrant with a touch of minerality, Grillo is the ideal wine for pairing with shellfish and fish appetizers – cooked or raw – but it also pairs deliciously with pasta and risottos with vegetables and seafood, such as the traditional Sicilian pasta with sardines. Thanks to its medium body, it is perfect with chicken, especially grilled or served with Mediterranean herbs. Some ideas include Shrimp Po’Boys, steamed dumplings, Chicken Shawarma, chicken and za’atar, Cobb or Caesar salads, pesto with orzo or pasta, savory tarts, and dishes that include polenta.
