Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Chianti, Verdicchio, Sparkling Rose, Trebbiano

Sparkling Wine, Chianti, and Verdicchio are my top picks for Crostini. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. You could try Barefoot Cellars Riesling Wine. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.
