Wine Pairing Suggestion

A classic Italian Beef Carpaccio pairs wonderfully with a medium-bodied red wine that has a good balance of fruit and acidity. A Chianti or a Barolo would be ideal choices, offering robust flavors that can stand up to the rich taste of the beef while complementing the saltiness of the Parmesan and the tanginess of the lemon dressing. For those who prefer white wine, a dry Pinot Grigio can also be a refreshing accompaniment, cutting through the richness of the dish with its crisp acidity.
