Oily Fish

Balance & Freshness: The Best Wines for Oily Fish

Oily fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel have a rich, full texture and intense flavour. To complement them, the wine needs bright acidity, minerality, and freshness to cut through the natural fattiness.
For grilled salmon, an Etna Bianco is an excellent choice. Its vibrant acidity, citrus notes, and distinctive minerality cleanse the palate, balancing the richness of the fish without overpowering its flavours.
If you’re looking for a light red alternative, a Pinot Nero is a fantastic match. With its delicate tannins, red berry, and earthy notes, it complements the meaty texture of oily fish without overwhelming it.
