Fueguine spider crab risotto with passion fruit

An exotic dish for a unique wine. Being creamy, fresh and aromatic, this sparkling wine combines very well with ingredients from different latitudes such as the Fueguine spider crab (coming from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) and the passion fruit of the tropics. The typical unctuousness of the risotto is balanced by the acidity of the passion fruit dressing, and both join the spider crab and its characteristic sweetness – enhanced by its golden outside crust – to finally highlight the freshness and the tropical flavors of the sparkling wine.
