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. The Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva ( half-bottle) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva ( half-bottle)
Crisp, ripe, red berry and cherry aromas are shaped by vibrant, fresh acidity. In the mouth, flavors show classic Sangiovese notes of earth, mushrooms and leather, with a backbone of firm yet elegant tannins. Pairs well with meats and meat pasta sauces, poultry and hard cheeses.
