Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Italian works really well with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. 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 Piccini Chianti Classico. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 10 dollars per bottle.

Piccini Chianti Classico

A complex and persistent nose filled with notes of cherry and wild berries. The palate is well structured, elegant, round and smooth with fruity notes and soft tannins and a long finish. An ideal pairing for grilled red meat and pasta al ragu. Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot
