Italian Wine
When people think of Italian wine, they often have a tendency to think of Chianti. This hearty red wine is quite dry, but not so robust that it does not pair nicely with many dishes - pasta, salad, appetizers and more.
In a world of chardonnay drinkers, the lovely pinot grigio is often overlooked. It is a very dry white wine, with none of the oak overtones of chardonnay or even cabernet sauvignon. It is one of the few wines that goes well, on a hot day, with almost anything. It is very light and when chilled, very refreshing.
There are many Italian wines that resemble others but in reality are quite different. For a more full-bodied red wine, try an Albarino. For something a little more "thin" and less emphatic, try a Valpolicella, or a Bardolino.
For a red wine you can really sink your teeth into, try a Lambrusco.
