Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano
Risotto works really well with Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano. 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 Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
