Recommended wine: Chianti, Montepulciano, Sangiovese

Lasagne works really well with Chianti, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese. Lasagna pairs well with medium-bodied red wine with higher acidity. Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Chianti all fit the bill. The Tenuta di Capraia Chianti Classico Riserva with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Capraia Chianti Classico Riserva

Tenuta di Capraia Riserva is a deep ruby red wine. Its complex and sophisticated aroma reminds of fruits on a first step, gradually opening up and displaying spices and licorice. On the palate, it is fleshy, harmonious and full-bodied, with long persistence.
