Barbera

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Piedmont's everyday red and Italy's secret food wine — high acid, low tannins, juicy red cherry, and a touch of earth. Pairs effortlessly with anything red-sauce.

Why it works with Eggplant And Mozzarella Torte

A medium red like Barbera is the safe everyday choice for Eggplant And Mozzarella Torte.

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Cakebread Cellars Rubaiyat and Eggplant Sandwiches With Smoked Mozzarella Ham And Basil make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

White · Medium · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc's body and acid balance Eggplant Sandwiches With Smoked Mozzarella Ham And Basil's flavor profile.

Chardonnay

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Why it works with Eggplant Mozzarella

Chardonnay's body matches soft and bloomy cheeses.

Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Eggplant Mozzarella

Versatile red that works across the cheese-board spectrum.

Rosé

Classic

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Eggplant Mozzarella

Dry rosé bridges vegetable dishes with versatility.

White · Light · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Why it works with Eggplant Mozzarella

Herbaceous white that mirrors green-vegetable flavors.
