Sparkling · Light · Sweet
Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.
Works with Apple Gorgonzola · Endive Apple Gorgonzola Salad
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Works with Endive Apple Gorgonzola Salad · Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Risotto
Dessert · Full · Sweet
Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.

White · Medium · Dry
The Loire's most versatile grape — bone-dry and steely from Savennières, honeyed and ageless from Vouvray. Naturally high acid keeps every style food-friendly.
Why it works with Apple Gorgonzola Salad
Chenin Blanc Viognier's body and acid balance Apple Gorgonzola Salad's flavor profile.
Red · Medium · Dry
Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.
Why it works with Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Risotto
Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.

Veneto's everyday sparkler — Glera grape, charmat method, frothier and fruitier than Champagne. Pear, white flowers, easy fun. Made for aperitivo.
Why it works with Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Risotto
Off-dry bubbles work from antipasti through to dessert — Italy's all-purpose sparkler.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.
Why it works with Endive Apple Gorgonzola Salad
Dry rosé bridges salads with cheese, fruit, or grilled-meat toppings.
Red · Medium · Dry
The soul of Tuscany — bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a savory line of acidity that craves tomato sauce. Chianti is the everyday face; Brunello is its serious cousin.
Why it works with Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Risotto
Bright Italian acid meets tomato sauce — the table-wine logic that Tuscan cooks have known forever.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.
Why it works with Endive Apple Gorgonzola Salad
Herbaceous white mirrors green-salad and goat-cheese pairings.
Liguria, Tuscany, and Sardinia's seaside white — citrus, salt, herb, and a clean mineral finish. The Mediterranean's answer to Sauvignon Blanc.

Coastal Italian white with salt and citrus — the Mediterranean version of Sauvignon Blanc.
