Well with Manicotti go with a white wine. The ethinicity of the meal is irrelevant. When your meal consists of pasta's, rices, fish, cheese and/or veggies White Wine, Red Meat- Red Wine, Blush you can use for either but I generally like to use it for the same purposes as white wine.

Sangiovese is a medium bodied dry wine with earthy aromas and berry, plum, spicy, or floral flavors. It has a smooth texture. Sangiovese is the main grape used to produce Italian Chiantis. Sangiovese goes especially well with pasta and other Italian foods.
Both of these Sangiovese are available online at the site below.
Di Majo Norante 2004 Sangiovese ($9.99)
Falesco 2005 Vitiano Sangiovese ($13.79)
Cheers!

Head to your liquor store and ask for a bottle of white sangiovese, or bartolini, or basically any dry white wine would be nice with manicotti. A light red would alright as well something like a pinot noir. I know that it's french but it doesn't have to be Italian.

Whatever type of wine you like. Sweet wine doesn't go all that great with an acidic sauce, like tomato. Try valpolicella (a red wine you actually serve cold) if you both are novices with red wine. Drier red wines like chianti and zinfandel are an aquired taste.
The bottom line is drink what you like. Even if it isn't what the "experts" recommend for a particular dish, you won't enjoy it if you don't like it.

Red Wine is always best with any Italian meal that is not Seafood.
Personal preference from there on out, my Italian family would offer a Merlo and a Burgandy.

With Spaghetti in a purple sauce, attempt an Italian Primitivo. it fairly is a brilliant option to Chianti. For a white, i for my section like Terra Andina Sauvignon Blanc. given which you have in undemanding terms had candy dessert wines, you will possibly not initially like the dryer table wines because of the fact dryer wines incorporate extra tannin. attempt to locate wines that are "semi candy" or "demi-candy" and artwork your thank you to the dryer wines. i've got been ingesting wine for years and have a stable length decision of wines from international. Drink what ever wine you like and don't complication plenty approximately pairing. some wines will convey out the flavors of food extra or stability the textures yet there isn't something worse than attempting to choak down a purple wine basically given which you're having a purple sauce. test with the numerous wines from diverse areas or perhaps from diverse wineries interior an identical area and locate something you like.

My favorite italian wine is Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir. It can stand up to the bold flavors of Italian food. Especially if you are using a tomato based sauce.
One of my favorites and totally affordable is Cavit's Pinot Noir.
Not too dry and quite smooth.

Chianti is a classic but it's pretty dry. If you don't like that, try a Shiraz or a blended red (liek a Cab Merlot).
