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. The Caposaldo Chianti with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Caposaldo Chianti

Caposaldo Chianti is ruby red with a fruity perfume, smooth texture, excellent structure and a long, elegant finish.Best with pizza, and pasta with tomato- or meat-based sauces.
