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 Lentil Pasta
Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.
White · Medium · Dry
Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.
Why it works with Pasta With Lentils
A medium white like French Chablis suits Pasta With Lentils when the sauce is delicate.
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 Lentil Pasta
Clean Italian white that lets seafood and vegetable preparations breathe.
White · Light · Dry
Sancerre's cousin across the Loire — Sauvignon Blanc with a smokier, flintier profile. The 'fumé' in the name refers to that struck-match minerality.
Why it works with Pasta With Lentils
Pouilly-fumé's bright acid lifts Pasta With Lentils cleanly — the lean white strategy.
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 Lentil Pasta
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 Lentil Pasta
Bright Italian acid meets tomato sauce — the table-wine logic Tuscan cooks have known forever.
Red · Medium · Dry
Bordeaux's serious white tradition — Semillon-Sauvignon blends, often barrel-aged, with citrus, white peach, beeswax, and the structure to age for decades.
Why it works with Pasta With Lentils
For Pasta With Lentils, reach for White Bordeaux — its acid handles the sauce, its tannins handle the cheese.
