Perciatelli with Meat Sauce and Fontina

Wine Paring: Rosso di Montalcino: 2006 Il Poggione, Italy

Price: 5oz- 40.99$ Btl- 169.99$

The sauce's cooked tomatoes suggest a red with some zing, and the meat demands one with some heft. A Sangiovese — one that leans toward the richer end of the scale — is a good choice.

Fettuccine Alfredo with Asparagus

Wine pairing: Chatea De Fieuzal Blanc 2010, Bordeaux, France

Price: 50z- 43.49$ Btl- 173.99$

A forcefully acidic white wine will balance this sauce's considerable richness. Plus, Sauvignon Blanc's grassy, green flavours go well with asparagus (which makes many wines taste unpleasantly vegetal).

Lasagna

Wine Paring: Ruffino Riserva Particolare, Chianti DOCG, Italy

Chianti’s is a perfect accompaniment for lasagna. It’s higher acid level stands up well to Lasagna’s rich tomato sauce and it has enough flavor to stand up to sausage or meat that is often part of a great Lasagna.
