Pasta alla Norma
Pasta alla Norma is a classic Sicilian dish featuring eggplant, tomato sauce, basil, and ricotta salata, creating a harmonious blend of savory, slightly sweet, and tangy flavors. The recommended wine pairings complement the dish's Mediterranean profile with medium-bodied reds that have enough acidity to cut through the richness while matching the tomato sauce's acidity and the eggplant's earthy character.
