Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Italian works really well with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. 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. You could try Spalletti Chianti Reserve Poggio Reale. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 23 dollars per bottle.
