Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are my top picks for Italian. 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 Spalletti Chianti D.O.C.G. (). Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.

Spalletti Chianti D.O.C.G.
Produced principally from Sangioveto vines of the Poggio Reale estate, this classically structured wine shows notes of earth and leather on the nose with woodsy overtones. The fruit is clean and soft, with gentle tannins on the finish.
