Red · Medium · Dry
California Merlot, when made well — plummy, supple, with a touch of cocoa and earlier drinkability than its Bordeaux cousins. The unfairly maligned dinner-party red.
Why it works with Sun-dried Tomato And Pesto Torta
American Merlot's mid-weight flatters Sun-dried Tomato And Pesto Torta without taking over — the everyday red strategy.
Red · Medium · Dry
Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Why it works with Pesto Torta
Bubbles refresh any palate — the default sparkling backup for unfamiliar territory.
Sparkling · Light · Dry
Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.

Champagne's bubbles and acid lift Sun-dried Tomato And Pesto Torta — versatile and palate-cleansing.
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 Pesto Torta
An all-purpose white — body, fruit, and acid in balance for varied food.
Red · Medium · Dry
Chile's reds — Cabernet, Merlot, Carménère, blends — riper than Bordeaux, less brawny than Napa, often great value with notable green-pepper character.

Red · Light · Dry

Why it works with Pesto Torta
A versatile light red — works across more dishes than any other red.
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 Pesto Torta
