Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Italian on the menu? Try pairing with Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano. 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. One wine you could try is Taittinger Brut La Francaise ( Magnum). It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 160 dollars.

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.
