Recommended wine: Lambrusco, Riesling, Chenin Blanc

Macaroni and Cheese on the menu? Try pairing with Lambrusco, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc. With rich, cheesy mac & cheese you'll want to cleanse the palate with something crisp and acidic. We recommend Chenin Blanc, Riesling, or dry Lambrusco if you're in the mood for a red. One wine you could try is Donelli Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro Amabile. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 11 dollars.

Donelli Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro Amabile

Fine and persistent foam with violet hues, this wine is rich ruby red in color with garnet reflections, particularly along the rim. Fruity aromas of red berries intermingle with spicy notes. On the palate, pleasantly semi-sweet fruit flavors come through. It is nicely balanced by light tannins.Blend: 90% Lambrusco Grasparossa, 10% Malbo GentileServe well-chilled as an aperitif with typical fare from the the Emilia-Romagna region including cured fatty charcuterie like mortadella. Also excellent with meat tortellini.
