Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano are great choices for Gnocchi. 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 Bibbiano Chianti Classico Riserva with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

Bibbiano Chianti Classico Riserva

A well-balanced, flavorful wine that is especially good for the vintage. It offers attractive red cherries and berries and spicy, garrigue and lapsang suchong smoky tea notes on the nose and palate. It has a silky attack, a well-balanced palate and a persistent finish.
