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

Sparkling Wine, Chianti, and Verdicchio 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. The Ballatore Rosso Red Spumante with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 8 dollars per bottle.
