Wine Pairing Suggestions

Red Wine Pairings - A Chianti Classico (Sangiovese) is a nice choice because of its high acidity, which cuts through olive oil while matching the earthiness from beans and herbs. 
A Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Merlot Tuscan style chicken with cannellini beans pairs wonderfully with a Super Tuscan wine. The rich, earthy flavors of the chicken and the creaminess of the beans pair well with the bold fruit, smooth tannins, and balanced acidity, making this an excellent choice.
White Wine Pairings -  There are several nice choices. Choose a crisp, medium-bodied white wine like Italian Vermentino, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, or a dry Pinot Grigio. These wines have bright acidity and herbal notes that cut through the rich olive oil, complement the savory garlic and herbs, and balance the creamy beans.
