Recommended wine: Chianti, Montepulciano, Sangiovese

Chianti, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese are my top picks for Lasagne. Lasagna pairs well with medium-bodied red wine with higher acidity. Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Chianti all fit the bill. You could try Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva ( half-bottle). Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva ( half-bottle)

Crisp, ripe, red berry and cherry aromas are shaped by vibrant, fresh acidity. In the mouth, flavors show classic Sangiovese notes of earth, mushrooms and leather, with a backbone of firm yet elegant tannins. Pairs well with meats and meat pasta sauces, poultry and hard cheeses.
