Parajes del Valle Monastrell Ecologico Jumilla

Mediterranean Coast, Spain

The Parajes del Valle Monastrell Ecologico Jumilla, a fruity, generous red from Spain, is the kind you serve slightly chilled, a few minutes in the fridge, for a cold pasta salad. Its fruit gets along with the cherry tomatoes and olives, and it lets the pesto and parmesan shine. The soft artichokes don't scare it. Perfect for a picnic, bowl in the middle. See the product

Doux Bisous, 4.8%

Avant-Garde

Olives, pesto and artichokes make a salty, oily salad. This witbier with coriander, kaffir lime and jasmine has a soft pepper and a leafy side that echo the basil in the pesto. It supports the cheese and cuts the oil without ever bringing bitterness. See the product
