White wine adds a subtle acidity, while garlic and parsley contribute freshness and aroma. Olive oil enriches the texture, making the dish soft and silky. It is served as a light appetizer or a side dish to meat and fish, pairing beautifully with a glass of white wine to highlight its elegant notes.
