Recommended wine: Lambrusco, Riesling, Chenin Blanc

Macaroni and Cheese can be paired with Lambrusco, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc. With rich, cheesy mac & cheese you'll want to cleanse the palate with something crisp and acidic. We recommend Chenin Blanc, Riesling, or dry Lambrusco if you're in the mood for a red. You could try Alfredo Bertolani rosé Lambrusco. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.

Alfredo Bertolani Rose Lambrusco

Dry Lambrusco with a light red cherry color. Delicate and fine, it has a fragrant aroma and a wonderful combination of fruit and acidity. Its characteristics make this wine suitable for starters, as well as first and second courses.
