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.

Why it works with Parma Ham With Mozzarella Di Bufala

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

Chianti

Classic

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 Mozzarella Bufala

Chianti's mid-weight handles Mozzarella Bufala without overpowering it — neither pulls focus.

Malbec

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Why it works with Parma Ham With Mozzarella Di Bufala

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.

Pinot Gris

Classic

White · Medium · Off-dry

Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.

Why it works with Mozzarella Bufala

Whites are often underrated with cheese — Pinot Gris's lift makes Mozzarella Bufala feel less heavy.

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 Parma Ham With Mozzarella Di Bufala

Versatile red that works across the cheese-board spectrum.

Syrah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Why it works with Parma Ham With Mozzarella Di Bufala

Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Parma Ham With Mozzarella Di Bufala

Jammy Zin lifts BBQ-style and bigger-flavored preparations.
