Red · Medium · Dry
Piedmont's everyday red and Italy's secret food wine — high acid, low tannins, juicy red cherry, and a touch of earth. Pairs effortlessly with anything red-sauce.
Why it works with Mixed Antipasto
Barbera D\'alba's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Mixed Antipasto.
Red · Medium · Dry
Piedmont's everyday red — soft, plummy, low-acid, gulpably friendly. The wine you reach for when Barolo feels like a commitment.
Why it works with Mixed Antipasto
Dolcetto's mid-weight flatters Mixed Antipasto without taking over — the everyday red strategy.
Rosé · Light · Dry
The blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that fills every wine list in France for a reason — friendly, peppery, slightly rustic, made to wash down anything from grilled vegetables to lamb stew.
Why it works with Mixed Antipasto
Rosé Côtes-du-rhône's strawberry-and-citrus brightness pairs easily with Mixed Antipasto.
Red · Full · Dry
Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.
Why it works with Mixed Antipasto
Shiraz's structured tannins frame Mixed Antipasto; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
White · Light · Dry
Marche's quietly excellent white — apple and almond, a faint bitterness on the finish, and unusual ageability for an Italian white. Try the Castelli di Jesi Riserva.
Why it works with Mixed Antipasto
Verdicchio's bright acid lifts Mixed Antipasto cleanly — the lean white strategy.
