A red wine for Italian dishes?

[Tom W]

I don't like dry wines and would like to find a good red wine that would go well with Italian dishes.

I agree. Chianti..Bolla has one that you can get for $15 or less.

It depends on whether the dish is Northernor Southern Italian. If you are eating a Southern Italian dish (typically characterized by tomato sauce), Chianti is a good option, but chianti may not go well with Northern Italian white sauces. If you want a red wine to match this, I recommend Beajolais Nouveau (It is the the season right now).

A great red wine that works with Italian dishes would be a Chianti. Its strong acidity works with the acidity in tomatoes. It also contrasts very well with the richer ingredients such as cheese and olive oil.

Italian dishes that are tomato-based and spicy will go well with Zinfandel, Primitivo or other varietals that offer strength, fruit and a solid finish.

Tender pasta , Provolone cheese, and sundried tomatoes paired with flavorful Italian salami and pepperoni for a spicy zing, crunchy red onions and peppers, black olives, fresh parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese all tossed in a delicious red wine vinaigrette!

I too would agree with you as, Chianti Classico red wine is prefect and it gives prefect blend of taste with pork and pasta dishes.
