Tuna carpaccio

Tuna carpaccio: wafer-thin slices of raw tuna, typically dressed with olive oil, lemon, capers, and perhaps a sesame or soy element in more contemporary preparations. The tuna is lean, clean, and intensely mineral-iron in character, the olive oil adds fat, and the lemon and capers provide the acid-salt backbone. Oak is eliminated. The soy or sesame element, where present, adds umami depth and shifts the pairing toward off-dry or aromatic wines.
