My daughter is looking for a bottle of wine to go with Valentine's Day dinner. Problem, she needs to pair with a seafood dish with a Fra Divalo (sp?) sauce.Part of me says go with a Prosecco any other ideas, comments on Prosecco as a choice?
Fra Divalo means (to me) cooked tomatoes, garlic and red pepper flakes.
I wouldn't want to drink Prosecco with that sauce (regardless of what seafood is involved).
Grenache (southern Rhone maybe, or perhaps better yet, Spain) is the first thing that occurs to me.
FWIW I ended up reccomending a Valpolicella as it is a very appraochable wine within her budget. I went with the Masi Bonacosta if for no other reason because I knew she could find that distinctive black bottle!
How will it work? We shall see.
Thanks to those who responded.
I wouldn't think that it'll work too well (not acidic enough). Maybe a Barbera would be better suited? Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what she thinks.
