Pairing Notes

Pairing Notes with the Villa Sandi Opere

Red – “A fizzy burst of lemon, floral and fruity characters are added to the curry which intensifies in spiciness, leaving enhanced savoury chicken flavours.”

Green – “The Creamy green curry when combined with the Villa Sandi becomes elegant, the creaminess puts on a crown and raises the herbal notes until the close when the savoury chicken flavours come back with classic force at the close.”

Pairing Notes with the VentiVenti Blanc de Blancs

Red – “The Sparkling Wine subtlety comes rushing through, lifting all the spices to take precedence for a moment, this combination lifts the spicy notes above what they are without losing the savoury chicken flavours.”

Green – “The Sparkling Wine comes in perfectly and complements the creaminess, it takes nothing away, it simply helps the spicy flavours appear from the beneath the herbal and chicken notes.”
