Vecchia Modena and Sushi

A few days ago, our hunter brought us fresh caught yellow fin tuna. We had some white rice on hand so it was a natural to make sushi with it. The question of what to drink with the tuna sushi was settled when we had a half opened bottle of Vecchia Modena in the refrigerator with our special sparkling closure. I have blogged about Vecchia Modena, a sparkling lambrusco in a blogpost I wrote in April 2015. At that time, we really liked this frizzante style wine because it was a good value for the money. It still is! When we paired this wine with sushi, we had no idea how ideal this pairing was. It worked!

An aside: I sent my mother this photo of the sushi and she wrote back to me saying that although she is not an eater of raw fish, she knows that if we were to have that sushi in Hawaii, it would cost a small fortune!
Buoyed by the fact that Vecchia Modena and sushi was a great pairing, we recently tried it with twice wrapped rice paper dumplings and karaage. That was indeed a good pairing as well. Try Vecchia Modena the next time you have an Asian meal. You will like it!
