Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Calzone on the menu? Try pairing with Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano. 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 Antinori Villan Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 36 dollars per bottle.

Antinori Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva

Crafted from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot, the 2010 Villa Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva is intense ruby red in color with fruit and spice aromas. Light touches from the oak aging underscore the cherry and red berry notes that are typical of the Sangiovese grape. The wine's flavors are harmonious on the palate with tannins that are balanced and ripe. The lingering finish is vibrant with a pleasing minerality, which is typical of Chianti Classico.
