Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are great choices for Ravioli. 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 Il Molino di Grace Solosangiovese Chianti Classico with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.
