Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for calamari fritti. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Vermentino di Bolgheri
Bolgheri Vermentino — marine and lean — perfectly defat the frying; lemon acidity acting as natural lemon squeeze on crispy calamari, iodine extending the cephalopod's marine taste.
Champagne Brut
The perfect fried-bubbles pairing: Brut Champagne mousse cleanses the breading, slicing acidity cuts the oil, brioche notes echo the golden crust. Classic high-gastronomy mariage.
Falanghina
Campanian Falanghina — round and saline — is a more accessible companion: fruity freshness cleansing the oil, Mediterranean character holding the tartare sauce with its capers and gherkins.
