Italian Food And Wine
What is the best wine to serve?
I am having a dinner party and serving Italian food, I’m not a wine drinker so I am not very knowledgeable on what’s good. What would be the best kind of wine to serve?
Depends what the food is. If it’s pretty robust– as in, it involves some kind of red meat, sausage, etc., or even a substantial amount of heavy/strong cheese (ricotta, Gorgonzola, etc.) or tomato sauce, you would generally go with some type of dry red wine. For Italian food, the obvious choice would be a Chianti. If the food is more delicate, like risotto, or if it involves only a white sauce or a butter-lemon-Parmesan type of thing, dry White Wine would be fine. I can’t recommend an Italian wine of that type, but you can certainly find a French Chardonnay for under $20 that would be perfectly good. Remember that white needs to be chilled.
In either case, if you’re spending more than $20, you are probably being foolish. I almost never spend more than $12. Hope that’s some help. Red is safer than white if you can’t decide. And if you’re not stuck on getting a European wine, you’d probably be better off (cost and quality-wise) getting an Australian or South American wine.
