Ingredients Needed

Serving Suggestions
Serve these wraps warm or at room temperature alongside a chilled glass of sparkling rosé. The bubbly wine complements the smoky, savory flavors of the prosciutto and the freshness of the asparagus.
Why Pair with Sparkling Rosé?
Sparkling rosé is an excellent choice because its crisp acidity and fruity notes balance the richness of the prosciutto and enhance the grilled flavors. It also adds a festive touch to your meal, making it perfect for gatherings or special occasions.
