Recommended wine: Chianti, Nero D Avola, Sangiovese

Spaghetti and Meatballs works really well with Chianti, Nero D Avola, and Sangiovese. All these Italian red wines have enough acidity to match the tomato sauce perfectly in this classic Italian-American dish. The Blanchard Perez Cava Brut with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

Blanchard Perez Cava Brut

Blanchard Perez Brut is straw yellow with green highlights in appearance. The nose is fresh and expressive with primary aromas of green apple and pear along with dried nuts and fresh baked bread notes. On the palate notes of ripe fruit with expressive citrus character are accompanied by a hint of Mediterranean herbs. Balanced acidity, weight and texture result in a long and lively finish.This sparkling wine has the perfect balance of dryness, bubbles and fruit to enrich any dining experience. It is a is a fantastic choice to serve alongside veggies, shrimp and shellfish, or delicious by itself!Blend: 33% Macabeo, 33% Xarel-lo, 34% Parellada
