Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are great choices for Italian. 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 Caposaldo Chianti with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Caposaldo Chianti

Ruby red with an aroma and flavor of red cherries, a smooth texture, excellent structure and a long, elegant finish. Best with pizza, pasta with tomato- or meat-based sauces, meaty mushrooms, roasted chicken or grilled meats.Blend: 75% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Malvasia
