Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Shiraz, Barbera Wine

Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine are my top picks for Pizza. 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. You could try Di Majo Norante Sangiovese. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 9 dollars per bottle.

Di Majo Norante Sangiovese

Vivid ruby red in color with a fresh bouquet of violets and woodland berries. Smooth and refreshing with loads of ripe fruit. An excellent accompaniment to antipasti, first courses and grilled white meats
