The Best Italian Food & Wine Pairings
A real Italian meal is not only about what’s on the plate, but also the glass that goes with it. With your Spaghetti alle Vongole, try a crisp glass of Vermentino. For Risotto alla Milanese, a Barbera d’Asti works wonders. And with Carbonara, keep it simple and friendly: a good Frascati.
These pairings are featured all throughout our book to give your table an even more authentic touch—just like being welcomed by a true Italian Famiglia.
