Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Italian works really well 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. The Nature's Revenge Pet Nat rosé with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Nature's Revenge Pet Nat Rose

Notes of raspberry and wild berries with some hints of grapefruit. After a few minutes, the wine will display some clementine and white peach aromas. The wine is truly alive. The wine is mouth-filling silky and dry (there is no residual sugar) but the fruitiness in the palate tends to make you think differently – the acidity is moderate, and the final goes onto fig jam hints with a tiny touch of saltiness (like an ocean breeze).
