Recommended wine: Chianti, Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Sparkling rosé, and Sparkling Wine are my top picks for Bruschetta. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. One wine you could try is Spalletti Chianti D.O.C.G. (). It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.
