Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are great choices 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 Casaloste Chianti Classico Riserva with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

Intense ruby red color. Its bouquet blends the typical fruity aromas of Sangiovese (such as blackberry, ripe marasca, plum) with the elegant notes of wood. On the palate it is velvety and harmonious with an excellent balance between acidity and sweet tannins. Aging wine, gives its best from the 5th year after the harvestIt goes with grilled red meat. Its harmony and typicality are also exalted perfectly by aged cheeses.
