\"Italian<\/a>What the best wines to serve with Italian food are all depends upon what Italian food we\u2019re talking about.\u00a0 There is no one authentic Italian cuisine, only a myriad of regional cuisines and specialty dishes that slide down easily with a seemingly endless array of local wines.\u00a0 To accompany the artfully prepared risottos and complex sauces of Northern Italy\u2019s Piedmont, the region\u2019s \u201cThree B\u2019s\u201d (Barolo, Barbaresco, and Barbera) immediately come to mind.\u00a0 Producers such as Seghesio, Silvio Grasso, and Querciola provide memorable accompaniments to Piedmont\u2019s celebrated cuisine.\u00a0 And if fish or fowl make their appearance at a Piedmontese table, the region\u2019s elegant dry white wines offer incomparable quality and value, especially Malaibale di Canale\u2019s Roero Arneis and Massone\u2019s crystalline Gavi.\u00a0 And to accompany Florentine Steak or one of Tuscany\u2019s signature bean dishes, there is no better wine to serve than Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.<\/p>\n

Richer than Chianti Classico and fresher and more food friendly than Brunello di Montalcino it\u2019s hard to beat Vino Nobile at table, especially if the wine happens to be an elegant Vino Nobile from Caterina Dei.\u00a0 Moving south, how could anyone pass up a bottle of Greco or Fiano di Avellino from Caggiano or Colli di Lapio while sojourning along the Amalfi Coast to enjoy with some of the world\u2019s most spectacular seafood?\u00a0 The hinterlands of this spellbinding coast also harbor the ancient Aglianico varietal that pairs perfectly with the region\u2019s lamb and hearty stews.\u00a0 Vesevo and Molettieri are two producers to count on for exceptional Aglianico.\u00a0 We shouldn\u2019t overlook Sicily and the far south as sources of affordable treasures either.\u00a0 Cellaro\u2019s Nero d\u2019Avola pairs splendidly with pizza, pasta, and the heady tomato and garlic laden dishes of Italy\u2019s Deep South<\/i>.\u00a0 And these wines just begin the conversation.<\/p>\n

Prost!
\nDon<\/p>\n
