What is a good wine (ITALIAN) to pair with chicken marsala?
Answers:
You really have to be careful here because you are in essence pairing wine with wine. Poultry such as you mention pairs well with young, aromatic and dry reds. Suggestions: Rosso Conero, Valpolicella Classico, Dolcetto di Dogliani, Nebbiolo d'Alb.
If you pair a robust, heady red wine with an understated delicate dish: the wine will overwhelm the subtlety of the food, the most effective method of pairing is by juxtaposing wine and food that have clashing qualities. For example, a fat and greasy dish like sweet Italian sausages would be paired with a dry, acidulous wine, like a zesty Barbera, that would cleanse the palate and lighten up the heaviness of the entrée.
