Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano are my top picks for Calzone. 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 Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.

Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico

Dark ruby color, with lots of chocolate, berry and vanilla aromas, this is full-bodied and velvety, with lots of fruit and a long, succulent finish. A beauty from a great vintage.
