Recommended wine: Lambrusco, Riesling, Chenin Blanc

Macaroni and Cheese works really well 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 Venturini Baldini Marchese Manodori Lambrusco. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Venturini Baldini Marchese Manodori Lambrusco

A harmonious blend of the Lambrusco varieties Marani, Maestri, Salamino, and Grasparossa, grown on clay-sandy soils. The grapes are harvested in the first ten days in September. Short Charmat method. Pleasantly fruity and spicy, recalling wild violet and mellow cherry perfumes with a delicately spicy fragrance of clove and pepper. Medium-bodied with lively tannin; balanced, fresh and very refined. Certified Organic.Blend: 25% Lambrusco Marani, 25% Lambrusco Maestri, 25% Lambrusco Salamino, 25% Lambrusco Grasparossa
