Nino Franco Prosecco RusticoPizza Pairing: Margherita What's pizza at its most pure other than a crust topped with sweet tomato sauce and mozzerella cheese with a kiss of savory herbs? Chewy, zesty, and creamy all at the same time, a Margherita pizza might seem a hard pairing indeed for wine. Not so! As with all things foodwise, try a sparkling wine. A crisp and savory Prosecco will shine with it. Nino Franco's Rustico is as good as they come.

2019 Terredora Fiano di AvellinoPizza Pairing: Hawaiian You may think you're throwing us a curve ball with a ham and pineapple topped pizza but we know that Terradora's 2019 Fiano will hit it out of the park. The wines of Fiano were once praised by the Roman historian Pliny the Elder, perhaps the world's first wine critic. Today's Fiano wines and their creamy texture, tropical and citrus fruit notes, and toasty hints are the ideal match for the island-inspired pizza.

2018 Cline Zinfandel Ancient VinesPizza Pairing: BBQ Sweet, smoky, savory, and oh so spicy - BBQ chicken pizza is an all time favorite, a marriage of Italian style and American brashness. Purportedly first served at Spago, it's now a classic. What wine to serve with it? Zinfandel! Brought by Italian immigrants and now California's very own, Zinfandel and its brash fruit, chocolate and baking spice suggestions, and mint savor are a natural match for the smoky sweet and spicy sauce, earthy red onions, and the savory cilantro that make BBQ pizzas oh so good.

2016 Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Rufina RiservaPizza Pairing: Meat lovers With hints of sweetness, tang, and spice accenting its salty richness - pepperoni and Italian sausage lend a pizzazz that no other pizza toppings can match, and demand an equally fun loving, vivacious wine. Your red? If there's any Italian red that says la dolce vita it's Chianti hands down. Brimming over with tart cherries, savory herbs, and just a touch of leather, Chianti is a walk on the wild side, and a match for the salty-sweet richness of Italian sausage, pepperoni, or any artisinal salami for the matter. And dollar for dollar, the Nipozzano is one of Tuscany's best.

2018 Pio Cesare Barbera d'AlbaPizza Pairing: Mushroom Think of Barbera as the great all-rounder. Like your pizza with sausage and pepperoni or both? Barbera has you covered. Like your pizza with just cheese or a harvest of vegetables atop it? No propblem. But Barbera absolutely shines with mushrooms or Neapolitan pizza drizzled with truffle oil. After all, Barbera is native to the Piedmont, whose legendary white truffles are worth their weight in gold.
