Winter meets spring in this dish with an earthy mushroom flavour and fresh wild garlic.
🍷 Wine recommendation:
A fresh Grüner Veltliner from Austria – its spicy freshness harmonises perfectly with the wild garlic.
Why does the wine go perfectly with this meal?
The lively acidity and fine spiciness of the Grüner Veltliner balance out the creaminess of the risotto, while its fresh citrus notes harmonise perfectly with the intense aroma of wild garlic. The light minerality also supports the earthy mushrooms.
The best wines for this pairing:
- Grüner Veltliner DAC (Wachau, Kremstal or Kamptal)
- Sauvignon Blanc (Styria or Loire)
- White Burgundy (Germany or France)
