Frascati Superiore
Frascati Superiore (Malvasia di Candia-Trebbiano-Greco-Bombino blend on volcanic Castelli Romani soils south of Rome) — apple, sweet almond, white flowers and volcanic minerality form the natural regional pairing for saltimbocca alla romana; local wine of Roman trattorie, volcanic minerality echoing the fresh sage studded in the meat, almond prolonging Charolais veal flattened with a mallet.
Cesanese del Piglio
Cesanese del Piglio (native red grape of southern Latium, 200-300m altitude vineyards between Frascati and Anagni, AOC recognised since 1973) — cherry, sweet spices, herbs and freshness authentically accompany the prosciutto and sage of saltimbocca; another Latium wine sharing the Roman terroir, herbal edge directly prolonging fresh sage, red fruit balancing 24-month Parma prosciutto.
Sancerre Blanc
For a lighter option, bright Sancerre echoes the sage and lemon of saltimbocca.
