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 Medici Ermete Concerto Lambrusco Reggiano with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.

Intensely ruby red with pleasant aromas that are persistent and fruity. Dry but fruity at the same time. Soft and fresh on the palate.
