The flavors of pasta dishes are incredibly diverse, ranging from light and fresh to rich and savory. The sauce dictates the overall flavor profile, influencing the best wine pairings.
Common pasta sauces include tomato-based sauces (marinara, arrabbiata), creamy sauces (alfredo, carbonara), pesto (basil, pine nuts, garlic, parmesan), meat sauces (bolognese, ragu), and seafood sauces (aglio e olio, scampi). Each sauce utilizes different ingredients, resulting in a wide range of flavor combinations. The pasta itself, whether fresh or dried, contributes a subtle starchy note.

Light Sauces, Light Wines
Pair light pasta sauces (pesto, creamy sauces with seafood) with crisp, dry white wines like Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, or Sauvignon Blanc. These wines offer refreshing acidity that complements the delicate flavors of the sauce.
Tomato-Based Sauces, Medium-Bodied Reds
Tomato-based sauces (marinara, arrabbiata) pair well with medium-bodied red wines like Chianti, Sangiovese, or Barbera. The acidity of the tomato sauce balances the tannins in the wine.
Rich Meat Sauces, Full-Bodied Reds
Rich meat sauces (bolognese, ragu) require full-bodied red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Barolo. These wines have the structure and complexity to stand up to the hearty flavors of the sauce.
Creamy Sauces, Rich Whites or Light Reds
Creamy pasta sauces like Alfredo or Carbonara pair well with richer white wines like Chardonnay (unoaked or lightly oaked) or Pinot Bianco. Alternatively, a light-bodied red wine with bright acidity, such as a Pinot Noir, can also work well.
Seafood Pastas, Dry Whites or Rosé
Pasta dishes with seafood such as scampi or linguine with clams are best enjoyed with dry, crisp white wines like Vermentino, Falanghina, or a dry Rosé. The wine's acidity cuts through the richness of the seafood.
