White · Medium · Dry

California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.

Why it works with Chicken Scarpariello

A medium white like American Gewürztraminer matches Chicken Scarpariello's weight — neither too lean nor too plush.

White · Medium · Dry

Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.

Why it works with Chicken Scarpariello

Italian Pinot Grigio's stone fruit and gentle structure are tailor-made for roasted Chicken Scarpariello.

Sicily's signature red grape — plummy, peppery, sun-warmed, with notes of dried herb and licorice. Honest and food-friendly at the everyday level.

Why it works with Chicken Scarpariello

Nero D'avola and Chicken Scarpariello make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Chicken Scarpariello

Pinot Noir's soft tannins and bright fruit are perfectly scaled to Chicken Scarpariello.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Chicken Scarpariello

Zinfandel's structured tannins frame Chicken Scarpariello; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
