Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Wine Advice:

These delicate risotto towers pair well with a crisp and light white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. The acidity in the wine complements the creaminess of the risotto, while the saffron adds a hint of complexity. For a non-alcoholic option, consider serving with a sparkling water infused with a slice of lemon or cucumber.
