Hi Mr Juan, and welcome to the Wine Board. My first thoughts turn to Sangiovese. There are some nice ones being made out there in California as well as in Washington State. Look for less than 12.6% alcohol. Chianti, made mostly from the same grape is also readily available. For the lightest look for plain ole Chianti, not Classico or Riverva.

For a white, you would need a very muscular one such as a Rhone type. Terre Rouge of Fiddletown makes one called Enigma, Sierra Foothills. It has 63% Marsanne, 30% Viognier, and 7% Roussanne. It weighs in at 14.3% alcohol, and 6 grams of acidity. It would work. For others of this ilk check out www.rhonerangers.com Don't know of any Italian whites that would work. (At this point Roberto will probably weigh in).
