Chianti

Classic 5 dishes

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.

Pinot Grigio

Classic 5 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 5 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.

Sangiovese

Classic 5 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 Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Risotto With Parmesan And Pesto

Versatile red that works across the cheese-board spectrum.

Semillon

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

Bordeaux's blending white and Hunter Valley's solo star — waxy texture, lanolin, lemon curd. Ages beautifully into something honeyed without losing its acid backbone.

Why it works with Organic Mushroom Risotto With Truffle Oil And Parmesan

Semillon's body matches Organic Mushroom Risotto With Truffle Oil And Parmesan's creamier preparations; the acid balances the richness.

Viognier

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The white grape of the Northern Rhône — full-bodied, peachy, faintly perfumed, with the texture of a quiet Chardonnay. Pairs with anything saffron-tinged or apricot-glazed.

Why it works with Parmigiano Reggiano Or Parmesan Risotto

Viognier's body matches Parmigiano Reggiano Or Parmesan Risotto's creamier preparations; the acid balances the richness.

White

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied dry white in the European tradition — crisp acid, citrus and orchard fruit, a clean mineral finish. Pairs reliably with most lighter dishes.

White's body matches Organic Mushroom Risotto With Truffle Oil And Parmesan's creamier preparations; the acid balances the richness.
