Giovanni Masucci, export manager for Donnafugata wines and Arancini Afficionado, is in the house today and teaching us how to make baller (pun intended) arancini!

Why the Pairing Works: This fresh, unoaked Nero d'Avola is super versatile with many foods, like pizza, Mexican, and even sweet & sour cuisine. The wine is both soft and fresh, with vibrant red fruits that pair perfectly with the fried delicious Sicilian balls of decadence, AKA arancini.

"With bright ruby red color with violet reflections, Sherazade presents a fruity bouquet with hints of plum and cherry flanked by delicate spicy hints (black pepper) and floral notes of violet. On the palate the fruity notes return smoothly, a red of great softness and excellent freshness. The caressing tannin completes this fragrant and pleasant wine."
