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 Penne All Arrabiata
Chianti is the pasta wine of choice — cherry, leather, cleansing acid.
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 Penne All Arrabiata
Clean white that works with cream-sauce and seafood pasta.
Red · Medium · Dry
A medium-bodied dry red in the European tradition — bright red fruit, soft tannins, and a savory finish. The everyday house wine of much of southern Europe.
Why it works with Penne Arrabiata
For Penne Arrabiata, reach for Red — its acid handles the sauce, its tannins handle the cheese.
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 Penne All Arrabiata
Italy's table wine for Italy's table dish — Sangiovese acid meets tomato sauce naturally.
Red · Full · Dry
California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.
Why it works with Penne Arrabiata
Zinfandelis built around braised meat or robust ragù.
