Grilled corn is a simple yet delicious dish made by cooking fresh corn on the cob over an open flame. The corn is typically brushed with a mixture of butter and olive oil, then seasoned with salt to enhance its natural sweetness. The high heat of the grill caramelizes the kernels, creating a slightly charred, smoky flavor and a tender, juicy texture.
The grilled corn, with its smoky, buttery flavor and slight saltiness, pairs well with a crisp white wine like Malvasia. This light-bodied wine has a refreshing acidity that cuts through the richness of the butter and complements the sweetness of the corn. Alternatively, a light-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir, with its delicate fruit notes, can also enhance the grilled flavors without overpowering the dish.
