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. You could try Tenuta di Nozzole La Forra Chianti Classico Riserva. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 34 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole La Forra Chianti Classico Riserva

Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva La Forra is a wine of impressive concentration and depth, with an intense, aromatic fragrance of black fruit, leather and woodsy notes. On the palate, rich, ripe fruit is set in a firm tannic structure which is balanced, mellow and integrated. The full, complex finish confirms the palate, suggesting extended longevity.
