Recommended wine: Chianti, Montepulciano, Sangiovese

Lasagne works really well with Chianti, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese. Lasagna pairs well with medium-bodied red wine with higher acidity. Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Chianti all fit the bill. One wine you could try is Antinori Villan Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 36 dollars.

Antinori Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva

Crafted from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot, the 2010 Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva is intense ruby red in color with fruit and spice aromas. Light touches from the oak aging underscore the cherry and red berry notes that are typical of the Sangiovese grape. The wine's flavors are harmonious on the palate with tannins that are balanced and ripe. The lingering finish is vibrant with a pleasing minerality, which is typical of Chianti Classico.
