Tasting notes: This dish is a perfect complement to the complexity of the 2012 Roma’s. The prosciutto brings out the umami aspects of the wine, while the figs highlight the fruit.
Serena's tips: Using fresh figs instead of dried figs makes the dish even better. Be sure to really flatten the chicken.
