Answer 1

If you want a white that will tame the salty and pungent flavors of olives, try a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

For a red, try Sangiovese (or Chianti.)

Anything else, you're wasting your time :)

Answer 2

The Spanish flight is definitely a good choice especially if your new to Spanish wines. The Glorioso in very nice with olives.

Also the Italian flight has a white so that might be nice to, just remember to start with the white and finish with the Amarone.

Answer 3

simple rule of wine pairing; find out where the olives are from and match them up with a wine from the same area. the "terroir" automatically makes them compatible (same soil same taste). wine is very subjective, but this rule works all the time.

Answer 4

Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, Beaujolais, Loire and Rhone. But the well-chosen list featured numerous wines from the Languedoc, Roussillon, Corsica, Provence, the Savoie, Jura and the South West.

Answer 5

A good chianti classico, or a Spanish rioja. If you are adventurous you could try a Greek wine, but suggest you get some expert guidance there...

Answer 6

"Truth Hurts" rules!! Chianti is perfect w/ grapes. I suggest trying the Brolio label.

Or another easy choice is Luna Di Luna Sangiovese/Merlot Blend.

Or try Bogle Vineyards Petit Syrah... nice & smooth.

Answer 7

Any wine will work . Are they Olives Mista?
I would go for a good hearty wine ( Reds, Chiantis) to enjoy them .
