Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are my top picks for Gnocchi. 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. The Antinori Badian a Passignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.
