Microwave Risotto with Ham and Corn might be A mixture of ham, onion, salt, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. To use up the white wine you could follow this main course with the White Wine Frozen Yogurt as a dessert. It is a rather inexpensive recipe for fans of Mediterranean food.

Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are my top picks 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 Barone Ricasoli Colledila Chianti Classico Gran Selezione with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 85 dollars per bottle.
