I'd go for a Cabernet Merlot - plum colored oak spiced and rich enough to hold its own against the Italian flavors. Or a nice Shiraz - fruity but not too sweet. Light enough to drink if the weather is warm, strong enough to match the cuisine.

I'm not sure if you can get many Australian reds where you are but if not the site linked below helps me choose which wine to take when I'm going out to dinner.

You can search for matching wines based on food or activity :) Very handy!

Try:

1.Sangiovese "Vigna dello Sperone"
On the palate it has softer, very accessible flavors of cherry, with earth, smoke, and saddle leather elements tied together with delicate tannins.

2.Lambrusco di Sorbara (Lambrusco from Sorbara)
A sparkling red, pleasurable with rich aroma.

I would probably go with a fruity Zinfandel....That's what my grandma uses with all her different pastas and sauces and it always fits. Good luck :)

I would suggest You try Sauvignon Blanc From Sula Vineyards. It has delicate aromas of fresh green grass,bell peppers and herbs. The pallate dry and crisp owing to finely balanced acidity offering.... it has slight hints of tropical fruits

Yummy, get Zinfadel- the regular red, not the white.

I'm a Chef with a BA in Culinary Arts, so I could very well answer this - which I will in a second lol. But as they say now, any food goes with ANY wine. It depends on the person, their palate and what they like better!

But classically speaking, a bolognese is always going to go better with the red wines like Merlot, Cabernet or Shiraz. It has to do with the tannins in the grapes. It just goes better than a white wine would.

Included below is a little article I did on Wine Pairings. I have one for beer pairings as well if you are interested.

I'd go with a Chianti ...Italian food goes well with Italian wines! to make sure you're getting an authentic Chianti look for the DOCG seal on the bottle- not all Chianti labeled Chianti is really Chianti.

Chianti, Sangiovese, and Merlot should all be excellent with your bolognese sauce and pasta. Here is a general guide to wine pairings for your reference:

A nice Italian Chianti Classico. Wikipedia says, "The acidity in the wines make them very flexible with food and wine pairings, particularly with Italian cuisines that feature red sauce, as well with as beef, lamb and wild game."

Banfi from Montalcino, Tuscany, produces a really good Chianti Classico Riserva (a Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero, Cabernet Sauvignon blend). It'll put you back about $12.00-$22.00 per bottle depending on the vintage.

If you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, then by all means go for a silky Banfi Brunello di Montalcino (also made with Sangiovese grapes). Hold onto your wallet though, this wine isn't cheap. But then again, we're worth it :-)

Great, now I'm hungry!
