What to pair with your salad

Greek: Why not try a wine from the country that produces some excellent bottles well worth discovering? Kir-Yianni Paranga white wine has notes of honeydew melon and white flowers that highlight this salad’s flavours.

Italian: Colour and freshness come together when you pair this salad with Simboli Pinot Grigio that bears the “Fruity and Light” taste tag. This wine is an ideal accompaniment to salads made with Bocconcini or other fresh cheeses.
