WINE SUGGESTION:
Made in heaven pairing for a Greek rose or a light structured red wine, with crisp acidity. Enjoy a glass of rose or red Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro wine, or be more adventurous tasting the dish next to a lesser known Greek varietal such as Avgoustiatis or Mavrodaphne from Peloponnese and Ionian islands.
