Chef's advice
The sartù rice is a typical recipe from Neapolitan cuisine; it is a very elaborate recipe of rice, which is then topped off with a very good ingredients. This is the classic version of sartù rice, but there are several versions. This name has French origin: “surtout”, which Neapolitans have turned into “sartù”.
I suggest to match this dish with Capri Rosso, Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, San Severo Rosso.
