Dry rosé or light red
Freshness supports the vegetables without covering their smoky notes.
Adapt the match to the dish
Grilling adds bitterness and smoke; a lemon dressing shifts the match toward a brighter wine.
When the recipe changes
Heavy charring can increase bitterness. Oil, herbs and dressing alter the pairing: compare plain and seasoned vegetables. Dry rosé can replace light red with tangy sauce.
Wines to compare
Gamay — A fruity red, often light and enjoyable with a slight chill. Try it slightly cool: fruit and acidity stand out, while an overly warm glass may seem less precise.

The tip. With tomato sauce, choose a brighter red.
