Stratigos notes that swordfish's versatility in taking on flavors makes it challenging to pinpoint one wine pairing, recommending the Salmoriglio preparation paired with Etna Bianco white wine.
Etna Bianco wines, like Benanti made from Carricante grapes, are described as powerful yet elegant, ideal for the south Italian swordfish profile with a dry palate and apple notes.
Salmoriglio, an Italian condiment of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs traditionally paired with fish, especially swordfish, is suggested as an excellent preparation for swordfish dishes.
Etna Bianco wines must contain at least 60% Carricante grapes, offering pleasant acidity and versatility to complement swordfish dishes like grilled swordfish with Salmoriglio.
