What wine goes well with Caponata?

This Sicilian recipe is characterized by a pleasant sweet-and-sour taste, which makes Caponata easy to pair with a wide variety of wines. A fruity and fresh red wine will enhance flavours without overpowering the vegetables. Sicilian Frappato from, or a fine rosé with a long, lingering finish such as Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo or Cirò from Calabria could be great choices. For those who want to be daring, try pairing this dish with a dry Marsala that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of Caponata on the finish.
