Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Italian can be paired with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. 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 Spalletti Chianti Reserve Poggio Reale. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 23 dollars per bottle.
Spalletti Chianti Reserve Poggio Reale
Spalletti Chianti Reserve Poggio Reale
This superb reserve wine, produced exclusively from the Poggio Reale estate, is a graceful, velvety wine with the characteristically earthy Sangiovese aromas and ripe, balanced fruit flavors offset by a touch of oak.
