Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Unoaked Chardonnay

Pinot Grigio and Unoaked Chardonnay are my top picks for Fettuccine Alfredo. Creamy, cheesy, buttery alfredo dishes can pair beautifully with an unoaked chardonnay or a pinot grigio. You could try Santi Sortesele Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
