Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for broccoli. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Sauvignon Blanc
Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc (flint and Caillottes-limestone Loire soils) — boxwood, grapefruit, cut grass and taut minerality form a natural pairing for olive-oil roasted broccoli; green-grass edge mirroring the green vegetable (chlorophyll against chlorophyll), flint minerality prolonging the slightly sulphurous note of 200°C-roasted broccoli, boxwood pairing with confit garlic.
Grüner Veltliner
Wachau Grüner Veltliner (iconic Austrian grape on loess and gneiss terraces along the Danube) — signature crushed white pepper (pfefferl), green apple, herbs and lemon are renowned for tricky green vegetables like broccoli; white pepper echoing chili flakes or fresh pepper dusted on roasted broccoli, signature green-lentil note aligning with green-vegetable chlorophyll.
Vinho Verde
Minho Vinho Verde (Loureiro-Alvarinho-Trajadura, NW Portugal on humid granitic soils at 9-11° alcohol, natural endogenous-CO2 petillance) — lime, green apple, Atlantic salinity and light petillance accompany steamed broccoli without domination; 9° freshness respecting the briefly cooked vegetable, natural petillance lightening the cooking, simplicity never masking the pure chlorophyll taste.
