Red · Medium · Dry

Why it works with Lemon Zest Pasta
Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.
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 Lemon Zest Pasta
Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.
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 Lemon Zest Pasta
Clean Italian white that lets seafood and vegetable preparations breathe.
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 Lemon Zest Pasta
Off-dry bubbles work from antipasti through to dessert — Italy's all-purpose sparkler.
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.

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

A bright, lean white like Verdicchio is what Artichokes, Capers, Olives, Lemon Zest, And Italian Tuna On Pasta Shells wants: refreshment between bites.
White · Medium · Dry
Sauvignon Blanc from the upper Loire, grown on flint and chalk. Citrus, smoke, and a mineral finish that hints at struck stone. The refined antithesis of New Zealand's tropical SBs.
