Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano are my top picks for Pasta Primavera. 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 Taittinger Brut La Francaise ( Magnum) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 160 dollars per bottle.

Taittinger Brut La Francaise ( Magnum)

This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes.
