Barbera

Interesting

Red · Medium · Dry

Piedmont's everyday red and Italy's secret food wine — high acid, low tannins, juicy red cherry, and a touch of earth. Pairs effortlessly with anything red-sauce.

Why it works with Grilled Cranberry Orzo Salad, Orange Dressing

Northern Italian red with bright acid handles pasta with tomato or meat sauce.

Chianti

Classic

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 Grilled Cranberry Orzo Salad, Orange Dressing

Chianti is the pasta wine of choice — cherry, leather, 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 Salad Cranberry Orange

Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.

Riesling

Classic

White · Light · Off-dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with Salad Cranberry Orange

Off-dry Riesling with fruit-forward dishes echoes stone-fruit and orchard notes.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Salad Cranberry Orange

Dry rosé bridges salads with cheese, fruit, or grilled-meat toppings.

Sangiovese

Classic

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 Grilled Cranberry Orzo Salad, Orange Dressing

Italy's table wine for Italy's table dish — Sangiovese acid meets tomato sauce naturally.
