What kind of wine goes best with pastas?
I'm preparing a small party and I would like to surprise my guest with pasta and wine but I don't know what kind of wine to serve.
Answers:
Most Italian wines are produced in three main Italian regions: Piedmont (Barolo), Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Amarone, Pinot Grigio) and Tuscany (Chianti, Brunello). Also try wines from Puglie, Sicily and Sardinia (Cannonau, Vernaccia).

Me, Italian.
Chianti. Or champagne...champagne cocktail!
Red wines go with red pasta sauce. If you are going with an Alfredo or butter sauce go with white.
Personally for a red I like Shiraz. White go with a Chardonnay or a Zinfandel.
If you mean "pasta with tomato sauce", get Chianti (It's very dry) or a semi-sweet red like Bully Hill Growers Red.
If you're having a white sauce like Alfredo, or chicken with your pasta, serve a fruity white wine like Chardonnay.
If you're serving shrimp or other seafood with your pasta, get a nice rose' wine.
Sounds delicious!
Try Chianti"s Rufinno.
there isn't an easier answer unfortunately. It depends on the pasta that you are serving. If you ar serving a hearty pasta with red sauce/meat sauce, I would do a nice chianti from italy or a sangiovese maybe from Silverado or Luna in Napa.
Fettucini alfredo though on the other hand would not work with red, a nice chardonnay or pinot grigio would work better and better complement the flavors of the rich cheese sauce.
i make a light tomato and peas sauce and it goes best with Sauvignon Blanc.
I recommend the "Old Cellar Door" which is a traditional method Champagne-like sparkling wine from Konzelmann Estate Winery.
