As a general rule of thumb, dessert wine should always contain more sugar than the dessert itself. Except for very light summer desserts, which may pair well with slightly drier sparkling wine.
Strawberry Pavlova is a meringue-based berry dessert, best served with lighter sweet wines to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors of the berries. Try the charming low-alcohol Italian Asti Tosti. For a drier option, try a pink champagne with berry aromas or another quality sparkling wine such as Nicolas Feuillatte Reserve Exclusive Rose or Contadi Castaldi Rose Franciacorta Brut.
