Recommended wine: Chianti, Nero D Avola, Sangiovese

Chianti, Nero D Avola, and Sangiovese are great choices for Spaghetti and Meatballs. All these Italian red wines have enough acidity to match the tomato sauce perfectly in this classic Italian-American dish. The Castello di Verrazzano Chianti Classico Riserva with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 44 dollars per bottle.

Castello di Verrazzano Chianti Classico Riserva

Ruby red color, bright, bright, with light garnet reflections. The nose gives off aromas of red ripe fruits, followed by hints of tobacco, black pepper and sweet woods, that become more complex with maturity. At first binding and full, the tannins blend in well with the fruity component. Long lasting taste, which expresses itself in excellent depth.
