Pairing with Zucchini Bread
Zucchini bread's delicate sweetness and earthy undertones meticulously marry with the fruity and slightly sweet nuances of the white peach sangria. The white wine's crisp quality complements the bread's denser texture, while the peach flavors imbue the combo with a lavish summer feel.
