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 Spaghetti With Italian Sausage
Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.
Red · Medium · Dry
Sangiovese from Tuscany's historic heartland — denser fruit, longer finish, and a structure that rewards aging. The pizza wine, elevated.
Why it works with Italian Spaghetti
A mid-weight Italian-style red like Chianti Classico matches Italian Spaghetti without dominating the dish.
Red · Medium · Dry
Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.
Why it works with Italian Spaghetti
Merlot's cherry-and-leather profile is exactly what Italian Spaghetti wants from a red.
Red · Full · Dry
The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco — pale ruby in the glass but ferocious on the palate. Rose, tar, dried cherry, and tannins that need time. Old-school greatness.
Why it works with Spaghettini With Crusted Olives, Anchovies And Italian Parsley
Nebbiolo brings dark fruit and grip to Spaghettini With Crusted Olives, Anchovies And Italian Parsley — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
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.
Why it works with Spaghetti With Italian Sausage
Clean Italian white that lets seafood and vegetable preparations breathe.
Sparkling · Light · Off-dry
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 Spaghetti With Italian Sausage
Off-dry bubbles work from antipasti through to dessert — Italy's all-purpose sparkler.
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 Spaghetti With Italian Sausage
Bright Italian acid meets tomato sauce — the table-wine logic that Tuscan cooks have known forever.
Liguria, Tuscany, and Sardinia's seaside white — citrus, salt, herb, and a clean mineral finish. The Mediterranean's answer to Sauvignon Blanc.
Why it works with Spaghetti With Italian Sausage
Coastal Italian white with salt and citrus — the Mediterranean version of Sauvignon Blanc.
