Perfect with Italian charcuterie...
The main ingredient on an Italian charcuterie selection should be Prosciutto di Parma which has a slightly saltier profile than Jamon Iberico yet with delicate, nutty profile. Each region of Italy has its own signature recipe and flavour profile of Prosciutto, but the most common are from Parma, Tuscany and San Daniele. Alternatively for a higher meat-to-fat ratio you could try Culatello is a boneless cousin of prosciutto. Either way for the best wine pairing look for a white wine that offers some mineral freshness to balance out savory and salty flavours of the meat. Verdicchio, Vermentino or this wonderful Gavi di Gavi would be excellent like with its floral hints and nutty aftertaste.
