Tomato sauce calls for a red wine that does not overpower the dish. Chianti and its Sangiovese brothers are the best match.
Creamy white sauce calls for a white wine. Ask yourself what is the dominant taste?
If the green, vegetable taste is dominant, go for an unoaked white.
If the cheese and cream taste is dominant, choose a rich, oaked white.
