Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chianti, Verdicchio, Gruener Veltliner, Trebbiano

Caprese Salad works really well with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chianti. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Moet & Chandon White Star () with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Moet & Chandon White Star ()

White Star is a softer champagne. It is well balanced and harmonious, with subtle aromas of warm toast and gingerbread. The finish is sustained with a hint of honey.
