Sauternes

Classic 4 dishes

Dessert · Full · Sweet

Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.

Works with Wedding Cake · Italian Wedding Cake · Tiramisu Wedding Cake With Mixed Berries +1 more

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 Italian Wedding Cake

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

Fumé Blanc

Adventurous

White · Medium · Dry

California's name for Sauvignon Blanc, popularized by Robert Mondavi — usually with a touch of oak, fuller-bodied than New Zealand or Loire styles.

Why it works with Tiramisu Wedding Cake With Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries And Strawberries

Fumé Blanc's body and acid balance Tiramisu Wedding Cake With Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries And Strawberries's flavor profile.

Sparkling · Light · Sweet

Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.

Why it works with Wedding Cake

Low-alcohol sparkling sweet — works with fruit, light cakes, and biscotti.

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 Italian Wedding Cake

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 Italian Wedding Cake

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 Italian Wedding Cake

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

Fortified · Full · Sweet

Port from a single declared year, aged in bottle for decades. Dense, structured, ageless; the pinnacle of fortified wine.

Why it works with Wedding Cake

Port handles richer, chocolate-and-toffee desserts with depth.
