Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Focaccia works really well with Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano. 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. One wine you could try is Giacomo Mori Chianti. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.
