Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Shiraz, Barbera Wine

Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine are great choices 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. One wine you could try is Delinquente The Bullet Dodger Montepulciano. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 25 dollars.

Delinquente The Bullet Dodger Montepulciano

Montepulciano isn't a common variety, and the Riverland ain't exactly the sexiest place to grow grapes. But boy does this Monte pack a punch! In every way this gang of grapes gets together and lets loose; pummelling your eyes with its deep plum colour, peppering your nose with bitter-sweet mulberries and cramming your mouth with a creamy texture that belies its fruity finish.
