Recommended wine: Chianti, Montepulciano, Sangiovese

Chianti, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese are my top picks for Lasagne. Lasagna pairs well with medium-bodied red wine with higher acidity. Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Chianti all fit the bill. One wine you could try is Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 24 dollars.

Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne

From the Chardonnay grapes this sparkler allies freshness, body, and smoothness. The Cremant Brut is dry and offers fine bubbles (1.5 Million/30 minutes - we counted them but you do not have to believe me for this!), hints of flowers at the nose, crisp and fruity on the palate. It is a great Classic for all festive occasions.
