Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Italian works really well with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. You could try Castello di Monsanto Il Poggio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 63 dollars per bottle.
Castello di Monsanto Il Poggio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
Castello di Monsanto Il Poggio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
It was Il Poggio vineyard, way back in 1962, that heralded the start of Castello di Monsanto’s journey in wine production, with the first harvest presided over by founding father Fabrizio Bianchi. Still to this day the company’s most iconic bottle, Il Poggio is the first Chianti Classico to feature the name of the specific vineyard that produces it. White grapes were removed from the recipe in 1968. Il Poggio is the source – thanks to massal selection – of all the Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo plants in the company’s other vineyards. Over 100,00 bottles have been produced, all of them spending time aging in the castle’s historic cellar, illustrating the wine’s stunning aging capacity.
