Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for socca. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Rosé de Provence
Provence Rosé (Grenache-Cinsault), pale and chilled, is the ritual Old-Nice pairing with piping socca; grapefruit and peach soothing the heat of wood-fired chickpea flatbread, dried-herb edge answering black pepper and abundant olive oil.
Vermentino
Provence Vermentino (Ligurian Rolle's cousin crossing the border at Ventimiglia) — lemon, almond and Mediterranean salinity prolong the rusticity of chickpea socca; noble bitterness mirroring the burnt edges, salinity holding generous pepper and olive oil.
Bellet Blanc
Bellet Blanc (Rolle on Saint-Roman and Saint-Sauveur slopes, micro-appellation in the Nice hills at 200-300m) — white flowers, citrus and sweet almond form the absolute local pairing; same Niçoise terroir on limestone pebbles, same Var sea breeze, salinity echoing toasted chickpea.
