The pairing is most successful with a red organic wine.

Red wines from Provence, such as a Côtes du Rhône or Bandol, offer a harmonious combination with veal with olives. Their aromas of red fruits, garrigue and spicy notes blend beautifully with the Mediterranean flavors of the dish. Look instead for supple wines, like the Vacqueras from Domaine d'Oréa or the Chateauneuf-du-pape from Domaine Pierre André.

Another option is to go for Beaujolais wines, we're thinking of those from domaine les Capréoles for example. The cuvée Chamodère or the Régnié Sous la Croix will be 2 ideal companions.

The white option is possible if you go for a fairly powerful white wine: a Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc can offer an elegant alternative. With its aromatic complexity, floral notes and a structure that can stand up to intense flavors, it creates a memorable culinary experience.

If you like foreign wines, a Tuscan Chianti Classico can also be an exceptional choice. The supple tannins and cherry-spice aromas of this red wine pair perfectly with the delicacy of the veal and the power of the olives.
