The prices have also skyrocketed in recent years, but if you want to pair for elegance, you may have to overlook the dollar sign and seek out the better producers like Michele Chiarlo or La Scolca - if you are fortunate enough to find them.

  Straw bright, clean aromas of jasmine water and yellow apple, notes of lemon cucumber sparkling mineral water, focused with bright frizzate and good length. Great with scampi, scallops and chicken with lemons.

  I've developed an odd fascination with grapes that are primarily Italian but ... I think my nod goes to their Cortese and for red to their Dolcetto. Super reasonably priced also (and no, I'm in no way associated with them; I should be so lucky as to get a kick-back)

  Excellent wine, very smooth. Visited the small family winery in Peidmont - uses large oak barrells that taste like an authentic barolo
