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.
Ruby red in appearance. The aromas are typical for the varietal: elegant, fruity, blackberry, cherry, violet, and mineral notesDry, warm, quite soft on the palate. Tasty, fresh, and slightly tannic with an intense, long finish.
