What do you drink with roast chicken? Here are our tips for combining (beer is only valid with the spit)
Roast chicken like Sunday dish, to be served on a well laid table, with grandparents and grandchildren, but also the grilled chicken of the trusted butcher, to have dinner immediately ready. Baked, grilled or grilled, flavored with some aromatic herbs and accompanied by a nice potato pan or a fresh salad, is the recipe that goes well in every season and to which no one can say no. What are the better wines to accompany him?
The meat of the chicken tastes rather delicate, which should not be covered with a too full-bodied wine. The best choice is to match a light red you hate medium structure, as a Chianti or a Pinot Noir. I are very indicated vintage reds, refined only in steel, but a good choice, especially in the warmer months, is represented by the combination with i rosés from southern Italy. And for those who want to drink white? Try with one chardonnay of good structure.
