What wine do I pair with Anjou Pear Salad with Pecorino and Walnuts?

Matching wines with salads is always difficult because of the lettuce and its delicate taste. Therefore the wine must be enhancing without overpowering the lettuce. In this course, the more intense flavours of pecorino and walnuts help us to find a perfect match with a fragrant, fruity and delicate in the mouth white wine such as a Pinot Bianco. For those who love new trends, the combination with a macerated Pinot Grigio, with its orange colour and more intense and textured taste, will not leave you disappointed.
