Low in calories and rich in minerals, they are ideal for diets and detox cures. However, the latter have a bad reputation when it comes to food and wine pairing. They are sometimes referred to as the “sommelier’s puzzle”, as their bitterness makes them so difficult to match. However, there are wines that go perfectly with this delicious vegetable, which can be enjoyed from the return of spring through to June.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

All about white asparagus<\/h4>\n

White asparagus has a fine bitterness and a discreet taste, encouraging you to opt for subtle, mineral wines. <\/span><\/p>\n

The mere presence of a sauce, puff pastry, eggs, rice or pasta will influence the choice of wine, and may lead to fuller-bodied white wines. Similarly, if the dish served is creamy, you’ll want to opt for full-bodied wines to highlight the asparagus on the palate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red wine fans beg to differ, it’s impossible to match it with asparagus. No pairing of food and red wine is possible, as the subtle, bitter contrast would clash head-on with the tannins of a bottle of red.<\/span><\/p>\n
