Wine Pairings
Lemony herbed pasta. Pair it with: A fruity Italian white.
Artichokes are a notoriously difficult vegetable to complement, but this little gem from central Italy is a perfect match. Its aromas of pear, apricot and honey are followed by a crisp hint of peach and toasted almonds. Our pick: Il Poggiarello Perticato Beatrice Quadri Malvasia, Italy, $16.
