Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Wine Advice:

Pair this risotto with a light and crisp white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. If you prefer red wine, opt for a light-bodied red like a Barbera or a fruity Beaujolais. For a non-alcoholic option, consider serving with a sparkling water infused with a hint of lemon or cucumber.
