Côtes Du Rhône

Interesting

Red · Medium · 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.

Why it works with Risotto Alla Milanese

Mid-weight reds like Côtes Du Rhône pair beautifully with Risotto Alla Milanese when there's meat or mushroom involved.

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 Risotto Alla Milanese

Light whites like Pinot Grigio flatter Risotto Alla Milanese's subtler grain-and-stock character.

Soave

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Veneto's everyday white — Garganega grape, light, almondy, citrus-finished. The good single-vineyard bottles drink like little Chablis.

Why it works with Risotto Alla Milanese

Soave's brightness handles Risotto Alla Milanese cleanly; the acid lifts the dish, the body doesn't weigh it down.

White · Medium · Dry

Italy's most-planted white grape — light, citrusy, neutral. Usually a workhorse in blends; occasionally serious from Abruzzo.

Why it works with Risotto Alla Milanese

Trebbiano D'abruzzo's body matches Risotto Alla Milanese's creamier preparations; the acid balances the richness.
