The presence of sushi in Italy has really captured the imagination of the natives here, who often seek out new establishments serving the Japanese delicacy.
Angelo Peretti, who manages a blog entirely dedicated to the Bardolino territory and its wine makers has been exploring some sushi and wine matches.
He has reported that Bardolino Chiaretto and sushi or sashimi is being offered by an Italian chain of sushi restaurants.
The chain is called Kiki and its managers “have found the Soave grape La Capelina from the company Franchetto di Roncà and the Bardolino Chiaretto from Lenotti di Bardolino very exciting”: the two wines will be offered together with the Japanese cuisine.
The whole article is available here on ViniBuoni, though it reminds us that Japanese cuisine is very delicate, therefore the Chiaretto, a rosé, is perfect.
If you’re looking for some great summer dishes, and food and wine matching, sushi is ideal with wines with good acidity.
Try some combinations yourself.
