White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Salmon With Pesto
Chardonnay's mid-weight handles Salmon With Pesto well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.
Red · Full · Dry
The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco — pale ruby in the glass but ferocious on the palate. Rose, tar, dried cherry, and tannins that need time. Old-school greatness.
Why it works with Salmon With Pesto
Nebbiolo brings dark fruit and grip to Salmon With Pesto — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
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 Salmon With Pesto
Light reds like Pinot Noir can match Salmon With Pesto surprisingly well — especially with seared or grilled preparations.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.
Why it works with Salmon With Pesto
Rosé's dry, fruity profile matches Salmon With Pesto without crowding it — a summer staple.
