Equipment

Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Shiraz, Barbera Wine

Pizza works really well with Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine. The best wine for pizza depends on the toppings! Red sauce pizza will call for a red wine with some acidity, such as a barberan or sangiovese. Add pepperoni or sausage and you can go bolder with a syrah. The Taittinger Brut La Francaise ( Magnum) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 160 dollars per bottle.

Taittinger Brut La Francaise ( Magnum)

This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes.
