White · Full · Dry

California's flagship white — rounder, riper, and oakier than the Old World original, with tropical fruit, butter, and vanilla. Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings are leaner; Napa stays plush.

Why it works with Truffled Lobster Risotto

American Chardonnay's richness pairs surprisingly well with Truffled Lobster Risotto — especially when there's butter, cream, or oil involved.

Champagne

Classic

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.

Why it works with Truffled Lobster Risotto

Champagne's bubbles are made for Truffled Lobster Risotto — palate-cleansing, briny, the classic shellfish pairing.

Chianti

Classic

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 Truffled Risotto

Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.

Burgundy's most generous white — rich, buttery, full of stone fruit and toasted nut. The Chardonnay you reach for when Chablis feels too austere.

Why it works with Truffled Lobster Risotto

Meursault and Truffled Lobster Risotto make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

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 Truffled Risotto

Clean Italian white that lets seafood and vegetable preparations breathe.

Prosecco

Classic

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 Truffled Risotto

Off-dry bubbles work from antipasti through to dessert — Italy's all-purpose sparkler.

Sangiovese

Classic

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 Truffled Risotto

Bright Italian acid meets tomato sauce — the table-wine logic that Tuscan cooks have known forever.

Vermentino

Interesting

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 Truffled Risotto

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