Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are my top picks 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. You could try Castello di Monsanto Il Poggio Chianti Classico Riserva. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 40 dollars per bottle.
