Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Shiraz, Barbera Wine

Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine are great choices for Deep Dish 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. The Illuminati Zanna Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.

Illuminati Zanna Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva

Produced only in the best vintages, Zanna is made with aselection of grapes from old vines (45 years old on average) from a single vineyard, pergola-trained with monitored low production through green harvest. Zanna is intense ruby red in color, turninggarnet with time. There are hints of blackberry, berry fruits, and dried flowers on the nose. On the palate the wine has great texture and soft tannins, with an elegant and long finish. It will pair perfectly with red meat, game, truffles, and aged cheeses, particularly gorgonzola.
