A chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc would be an excellent choice, with its crisp acidity and citrus notes pairing beautifully with the rich tuna and creamy avocado. Alternatively, a light and dry Rosé with subtle fruit undertones can also create a delightful contrast to the savory elements of the dish, making for an exquisite gastronomic experience.
