Red · Medium · Dry
Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.
Why it works with Deep Dish Pizza
Chianti and pizza is the eternal Italian pairing.
Red · Light · Off-dry
Italy's pizza wine — slightly sparkling, slightly off-dry, low alcohol, and built to cut through sausage and cheese. The good Emilia-Romagna versions are dry and seriously good.
Why it works with Deep Dish Pizza
Sparkling red Lambrusco is the regional pizza pour from Emilia-Romagna.
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.
Why it works with Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
Italian-style reds like Merlot are tomato sauce's natural partner.
Red · Medium · Dry
A catchall for red wine generally — covers everything from a $12 weeknight pour to first-growth Bordeaux. Match the bottle's weight to the food's weight and you'll rarely go wrong.

Italian-style reds like Red Wine are tomato sauce's natural partner.
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 Deep Dish Pizza
Dry rosé refreshes between bites and works with varied toppings.
Red · Medium · Dry
The soul of Tuscany — bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a savory line of acidity that craves tomato sauce. Chianti is the everyday face; Brunello is its serious cousin.
Why it works with Deep Dish Pizza
Sangiovese is the pizza wine for a reason — acid for tomato, cherry for cheese.
