Chicken Scarpariello & Suhru Ember

Chicken Scarpariello

 

Frankly, we are a little bummed that Chicken Scarpariello recipes are often missing on menus at Italian restaurants, or you see it jazzed up so much that it lost its original rustic charm. Ember being a Bordeaux style red blend, makes it an excellent wine to pair with food and very versatile! This may well be one of the most versatile dishes because it has chicken, italian sausage, mildly-spicy pickled peppers, and sweet roasted bell peppers. Some people eat each component separately, and some make sure to have every component in every bite. No matter how you stack it—Ember was simply made for this one.

This is a great mid week meal as it doesn’t take too much time or effort but is sure to please with its rustic, well developed flavors. The same could also be said for Ember, a robust red blend with a rich, lingering finish coupled with good tannin structure, aka complexity without the attitude! A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Teroldego this medium bodied red wine is perfect both for every day sipping and that special occasion!
