Spring-fresh elegance with Mediterranean flair
Delicately grilled scallops meet a creamy pea and mint puree – a light, aromatic dish that brings spring to the plate. The combination of sweet peas, fresh mint and the delicate flavour of the scallops is perfectly rounded off by the matching wine pairing.
Ideal wine accompaniment: Grillo DOC (Sicily, Italy)
The Grillo DOC from Sicily is a fresh, aromatic white wine with notes of citrus fruit, white flowers and a hint of exotic fruit. Its lively acidity and mineral structure harmonise perfectly with the sweet pea puree and the delicate texture of the scallops. The fine herbal spice of the wine complements the freshness of the mint and rounds off the flavour experience.
