Some Italians will say Barolo for the artichokes. Boggles my mind. I don't
think asparagus is difficult. Given that I am working alone, however, I am
going to serve Prosecco with both of these. Since the artichoke effect is
to make wine taste too sweet a really dry Prosecco will suit me.

I am serving a Pugliese black wine with the meat course.
