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.

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.

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.

Red · Medium · Dry
Sangiovese from Tuscany's historic heartland — denser fruit, longer finish, and a structure that rewards aging. The pizza wine, elevated.
Why it works with Pizza With Pesto, Fresh Tomatoes, And Mozzarella
Italian-style reds like Chianti Classico are tomato sauce's natural partner.
White · Medium · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Why it works with Pizza With Pesto, Fresh Tomatoes, And Mozzarella
Italian Pinot Grigio's body and acid balance Pizza With Pesto, Fresh Tomatoes, And Mozzarella's flavor profile.
Sparkling · Light · Sweet
Asti's more refined sibling — gently frizzante, only 5-6% alcohol, all peach and orange blossom. The perfect summer dessert wine.
Why it works with Crostini With Pesto, Fresh Mozzarella And Cherry Tomatoes
Light sweet sparkling with fresh fruit — the simplest dessert pairing that works.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Fortified red from Portugal's Douro Valley — sweet, warming, and surprisingly versatile. Ruby and LBV are for everyday; Vintage and Tawny are for serious occasions. Pair with blue cheese, walnuts, or just a fire.
Why it works with Crostini With Pesto, Fresh Mozzarella And Cherry Tomatoes
Port with blue cheese is the dessert-table 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 Tomatoes Mozzarella And Pesto
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 Tomatoes Mozzarella And Pesto
Herbaceous white that mirrors green-vegetable flavors.
White · Light · Dry
Veneto's everyday white — Garganega grape, light, almondy, citrus-finished. The good single-vineyard bottles drink like little Chablis.
Why it works with Pizza With Pesto, Fresh Tomatoes, And Mozzarella
Soave's bright acid lifts Pizza With Pesto, Fresh Tomatoes, And Mozzarella cleanly — the lean white strategy.
