Service Description

Balance a rustic, high-acid Italian bread salad with a crisp, light-bodied classic white wine that cleanses the palate between rich, savory bites. The Rustic Plate The Substance: Crusty, olive-oil-soaked bread cubes and savory ribbons of cured prosciutto. The Core: Juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes tossed with briny capers in a sharp vinaigrette. The Softener: Fresh, creamy mozzarella balls to round out the sharp, acidic edges of the dish. The Pour: Pinot Grigio The Profile: A light-bodied, bone-dry Italian white wine celebrated for its vibrant citrus zest, green apple notes, and clean, mineral finish. Why the Chemistry Works: The Acidity Match: Tomatoes and vinaigrettes can easily flatten a low-acid wine. Pinot Grigio's natural brightness stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the tangy dressing and salty capers. The Palate Cleanser: The crisp, energetic profile of the wine cuts through the milky fat of the fresh mozzarella and the rich saltiness of the prosciutto, keeping each bite feeling light and lively.
