Recommended wine: Chianti, Montepulciano, Sangiovese

Chianti, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese are great choices for Lasagne. Lasagna pairs well with medium-bodied red wine with higher acidity. Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Chianti all fit the bill. The Luiano Chianti Classico Riserva with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

Luiano Chianti Classico Riserva

A rich, structured wine with a complex bouquet layered with aromas of ripe red cherries and violets, followed by notes of leather and white pepper. Fermented in stainless steel, the wine rests for 10 months before being transferred into French and American oak barrels where it aged for 12 months.
