White wine in ragù
I have a copy of Elizabeth David's 'Italian food', which contains a number of traditional Italian recipes.

One of these recipes is ragù (which we'll use for lasagne) and one of the ingredients in this is "1 wineglassful of white wine", but isn't any more specific than that.

Is there a specific type of white wine that is traditionally used here and if so, what?

I'm not looking for any kind of suggestion of what is or isn't better, rather what's *historically* and *traditionally* used in the Bologna region of Italy.
