Description
Pasta with Tomato is an Italian dish, and the first choice is an Italian wine.
Sangiovese based wines (like Chianti) are perfectly suited for well-seasoned sauces. They pair perfect with both tomato-based and oil-based sauces.
Both Pinot Noir and Merlot are light wines with flavors of Cherry, Plum, and Jam wich pair well with tomato based sauces.
Zinfandel and Primitivo are also Tomato lovers.
