With pesto’s fresh herbal flavors, the best wine pairing will have complementary “green” flavors. Look for white wines with herbal notes like green bell pepper or asparagus. Lighter red wines can work with heavier pesto dishes.

Sauvignon Blanc is one of the best pesto pairings. It works well with seafood pesto and leafy greens.
