There may be no more classic combination than pasta and wine: The old image of the big bowl of pasta and the straw-covered bottle of Chianti in the neighborhood Italian restaurant is as iconic as any in American popular culture. But the truth is that there is more than one kind of pairing that can be made when it comes to pasta. After all, there are literally dozens of major varieties of pasta, and depending upon their size, weight, texture, filling, and accompanying sauce, there is a virtually infinite variety of options when it comes to finding an appropriate wine to enjoy with your pasta. The detailed pairings that follow this should help clarify this often confusing world.
