Saltimbocca alla Romana
Saltimbocca sets tender veal under salty prosciutto and a leaf of sage, finished in a white-wine pan sauce, so the wine must handle the cured-ham salt, chime with the sage and still respect the delicacy of the veal. Lightness with acidity is the key. Avoid heavy tannin and oak.
