Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio

Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are great choices for Italian. 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. The Castello di Meleto Chianti Classico Gran Selezione with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 62 dollars per bottle.
