Burrata Pesto Focaccia Sandwich & Vermentino
This over-the-top, rich, saucy sandwhich is everything you would expect it to be and more. With layers of salty pesto and prosciutto, tangy tomatoes and creamy burrata, it's a decadent flavour explosion that is perfectly paired with a refreshing and palate cleansing chilled glass of Vermentino!
Vermentino a crisp and refreshing white wine that is the perfect match for this sammy. Its zesty acidity and citrusy notes cut through the richness of the sandwich, its bright flavors complement the fragrant garlic butter, and it's herbal undertones works perfectly with the pesto mayo. The contrast between wine’s acidity, creamy Burrata, and salty prosciutto is seriously to die for!
