Gosari fern herb pasta with thinly sliced seared meat
Signature Pairing 01

Gosari Fern Herb Pasta & Mineral White

The earthy botanical depth of Korean bracken fern and garlic herb reduction creates a savory foundation that benefits from a crisp, high-acidity natural white or skin-contact orange wine.

Recommended Pour

Dry, aromatic natural white with mineral salinity to cut through the rich seared meat and highlight fresh herb notes.
