Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Focaccia works really well with Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano. 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. You could try Cipriani Prosecco. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

Cipriani Prosecco

Cipriani Bellini is the world-famous cocktail made with white peach pulp and brut sparkling wine. It was invented in 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani of Harry's Bar in Venice and is served in every Cipriani location around the world. A great way to start any party or to have with Sunday Brunch! Cipriani Bellini shows elegant, fresh, and fruity aromas with a balanced sweetness and fragrant bubbles. Perfect anytime, great as an aperitif.
