What's the right wine for " Turbot fillet rolled and stuffed with salmon and broccoli "?

My husband and I prefer Sauvignon dell'Alto Adige (white wine from Trentino-Alto Adige - Italy) with this turbot recipe. On the contrary when I realized my recipe for the first time on the occasion of Christmas Eve dinner we began serving pomegranade cocktail and then we matched a very special sparkling wine: Prosecco di Conegliano Valdobbiadene Spumante (the most famous bubbles from Veneto in Italy).
