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 Castellani Chianti Annata with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Castellani Chianti Annata

Bright ruby red colored. The nose is intense and fruity with a violet fragrance and a slight hint of cherries and red currant. The palate is dry and balanced, lightly tannic which turns into velvety softness.Pairs well with delicious pastas to spicy pasta dishes. Ideal with roasts, steaks, and grilled veal.Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Ciliegiolo
