Asti Spumante is way too sweet for this dish at least for me anyway.I recommend for an Italian dish a good dry red wine like Merlot but especially Chianti (a dry red wine) is very good and if you have extra bucks get Chianti Classico. Riesling is a nice white wine and should go well too but I would stay away from the Asti Spumante unless she is your only dinner guest.

There is a VERY mild red wine called Valpolicella. You can get it at the grocery store. I believe the brand I buy is Bolla. If she like sweet white wine she may like this. Otherwise (if she only drinks white) try serving her a Pinot Grigio. She will be pleasantly suprised. It is much better than Riesling.

You could go with a Riesling. But if you're cooking with wine, drink the same wine that you used to cook with. Happy cooking!

go with a prosecco spumanti... it is an italian sparkling wine (aka champagne) and this way you will be staying within italy... a riesling is a german wine.... and i would otherwise suggest a chianti instead, however, you are doing well in considering what she likes

Pinot grigio. But definitely have a bottle of chianti on hand, preferably the kind that has the woven straw thing around the bottle--this will totally add ambience!!!!

Reisling rocks! So does the wine in the link below... Gewürztraminer.
To find a red wine she may like, try beaujolais. It is light, and kind of sweet.

italian food MUST be served with red wine... no ifs and or a$$es... white wine would be awful...
go with anything red that you enjoy :)
My dad is an Italian homebread chef... He usually serves dinner with Chianti... by far most complimenting
