Sangiovese

Classic 7 dishes

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.

Pinot Grigio

Classic 6 dishes

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.

Prosecco

Classic 6 dishes

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.

Barbera

Classic

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 Pesto Pasta With Roasted Asparagus, Shallots, Red Bell Pepper And Pancetta

Barbera gives Pesto Pasta With Roasted Asparagus, Shallots, Red Bell Pepper And Pancetta a savory partner — cherry, leather, and a touch of acid.

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Pasta With Pancetta And Cabbage

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

Chardonnay

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with Crab Pancetta And Arugula Pasta

Chardonnay's body matches crab's sweet richness without overpowering it.

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with Pasta With Artichokes And Pancetta

Chardonnay Nw (full-bodied, Fruity)'s body and acid balance Pasta With Artichokes And Pancetta's flavor profile.

Malbec

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Why it works with Pasta With Pancetta And Cabbage

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.

Nebbiolo

Classic

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 Pasta With Artichokes And Pancetta

Nebbiolo's fat with Nebbiolo's grippy tannins; this is the pairing every steakhouse leans on.

An uncatalogued varietal or single-vineyard wine. Taste before pairing: assess color, weight, and any obvious sweetness, then plate accordingly.

Why it works with Pasta With Artichokes And Pancetta

Pancetta, Parmesan and Pasta With Artichokes And Pancetta make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
