Penne Aglio e Olio with Chicken

by Greg Flores

A comforting Italian-inspired pasta featuring tender chicken brined with Bargetto Sauvignon Blanc, garlic, and herbs. Golden chicken is tossed with penne, fragrant olive oil and lightly browned garlic, then finished with fresh parsley, crushed red pepper, and Parmesan for a savory dish with a bright, gently spicy finish.

Our offering of Sauvignon Blanc is pale yellow in appearance with a slight tinge of green. It bursts with scents of passion fruit, grapefruit, and lemongrass. Mineral notes shine in the mid-palette while the grapefruit and grass linger on the finish.
