Wine

from Italy would do well here. The rosemary highlights floral notes in the wine, while (if using the prosciutto recipe variation) the prosciutto's saltiness and mild gamey flavors are softened. Often served with seafood, Soave is not overbearing, but food-friendly."--Franklin Ferguson, wine director and bar manager, Citrine restaurant, Los Angeles, CA.

sea scallops

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir

Scallops works really well with Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Chardonnay and chenin blanc are great matches for grilled or seared scallops. If your scallops are being matched with bacon or other cured meats, try a lightly chilled pinot noir. One wine you could try is A to Z Chardonnay. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.
