A shop assistant asking a customer who is browsing the wine section.
Vino da pasto (table wine, everyday drinking wine) is distinguished from vino da meditazione (a fine wine to be sipped and contemplated) and vino da dessert (dessert wine). Everyday table wines in Italy are excellent quality at modest prices — the €5–10 range covers a huge range of DOC and DOCG wines.

Bistecca alla fiorentina is the quintessential Tuscan dish — a thick T-bone steak from Chianina cattle, aged and grilled over wood embers. It is served rare (al sangue) by definition. Pairing it with a Chianti Classico DOCG — Sangiovese-based and tannic — is the canonical Tuscan combination.
