Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Minestrone on the menu? Try pairing 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 Tenuta di Capraia Chianti Classico with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Capraia Chianti Classico

Chianti Classico Tenuta di Capraia is a wine with an optimal complexity and structure. Ruby red color with violet tinges. Intense and rich aroma, vinous, fruit-driven. Pleasant cherry notes, refreshing and well-balanced with hints of integrated vivid tannin.
