Green Tea Sea Salt Cookies

The clean, delicious taste of matcha (green tea powder) adds interesting flavor to shortbread cookies. Matcha may seem like an obscure ingredient, but along with sea salt, it intensifies the subtle sweetness of these treats which marry wonderfully with frizzante (fizzy) dessert wines. Who doesn’t go for a little salty-sweet decadence?

Suggested Pairings

Fissata Blonde Moscato d'Asti

Slightly sweet desserts complement Moscato d’Asti’s tropical fruit flavors of mandarin orange and lychee. Moscato has a high residual sugar value relative to your typical table wine. However, the dish should not be overly sweet so as to make the wine taste off. A touch of fizz cuts through rich buttery treats, and because it’s a low alcohol beverage, you can pour yourself another glass!

Fissata Red, New York

Excite your taste buds with a dessert treat and prepare for the effervescence to follow in the mouth. Without being cloyingly sugary, Fissata delivers Jolly Rancher and ZaRex raspberry flavors to flatter subtly sweet dishes. Fruit-based desserts also nicely balance the fruit punch, berry and stone fruit components of the wine.
