Monte del Frà pairings: 'Ega wine and Thai avocado Salad
There is a reason to pair wine and food all the time and here today we got the best for you with our Ega white wine !
Beside the fact that this Thai Avocado Salad takes us back on vacation to some wonderful exotic island, (and seriously, right now each of us need it!) it really tastes like heaven. And everyone can do it! This salad can be lunch. It can be dinner. You can add chickpeas or chicken or salmon or shrimp. It can be a side salad to any other meal.
We had no doubts about the wine pairing, because we had a perfect one! Ega – garganega IGT – Monte del Frà is a white wine, fresh and aromatic, with honeysuckle, blossom, apple, pear, citrus, peach, apricot and tropical fruit. It is a wine suitable for hot climates and goes perfectly with vegetarian dishes. But there is one more reason: it goes perfectly with the spiciness of Thai sauce.
Amaze your guests and give them an experience based on original tastes and flavors!
