Though this dish has a considerable infusion of vinegary notes, its different flavors combine delicately into a single bite. Try pairing it with a white wine from DO Rueda made with Verdejo grapes. Despite their crisp acidity, these highly aromatic wines are also characterized by a full-bodied texture and soft and luscious palate.
