Cabernet

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Shorthand for Cabernet Sauvignon — full-bodied, structured red wine with notes of black currant, graphite, and cedar. The classic steakhouse choice.

Why it works with Parmesan Crusted Bistecca

Cabernet's mid-weight handles Parmesan Crusted Bistecca without overpowering it — neither pulls focus.

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 Bistecca

Chianti's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Bistecca.

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 Parmesan Crusted Bistecca

Reserve Chardonnay's acid balances Parmesan Crusted Bistecca's creaminess; the body holds up to the richness.

White Zinfandel

Interesting

Rosé · Light · Off-dry

California's introduction to wine for an entire generation — slightly sweet, lightly fruity, easy to like. Pair with brunch, spice, or nothing at all.

Why it works with Parmesan Crusted Bistecca

White Zinfandel's strawberry-and-citrus brightness pairs easily with Parmesan Crusted Bistecca.
