Bake at 325° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose
Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Antipasti. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Ballatore Rosso Red Spumante with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 8 dollars per bottle.
Ballatore Rosso Red Spumante
The vibrant, ruby color of Ballatore Rosso Red Spumante makes it a captivating sparkling wine. Inviting aromas reminiscent of blackberries and citrus form a delightfully complex bouquet. Well-balanced and rich in varietal character, this sparkling wine refreshes by combining flavors of raspberries and cherries providing a crisp, clean finish.While spumantes are traditionally enjoyed with desserts, Ballatore Rosso Red Spumante is an elegant and festive companion for any occasion.Alcohol: 8.20%
