Pair Like a Pro

Red wine’s bold flavors, warming characteristics, and deep complexity make it a perfect companion for hearty winter dishes. Rich in tannins and often full-bodied, red wines complement savory and meaty flavors beautifully. Here are some of our favorite dishes to pair with select Italian wines.

Pinot Noir

Light-bodied with notes of red fruit and soft earthiness, pinot noir is an elegant choice that pairs beautifully with the delicate flavors of our gnocchi. The wine’s subtlety enhances the pillowy gnocchi, creating a balanced and memorable combination.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Bold and robust, with dark fruit and hints of spice, cabernet sauvignon is the perfect match with our chef’s cut steak. The wine’s tannins complement the richness of the steak, delivering a hearty pairing.

Merlot

Smooth and medium-bodied, merlot offers notes of plum and chocolate that align seamlessly with our highly-regarded lasagna. The layers of fresh pasta, beef, and pork ragu reach harmony with merlot’s velvety finish.

Chianti

A quintessential Italian red, Chianti features bright acidity and flavors of red cherry and herbs. It pairs wonderfully with our fresh pizzas, including the classic margherita or daring Mulino pizza.

Zinfandel

Lush with notes of blackberry and spice, zinfandel is an ideal choice with our Principessa pizza. The gorgonzola, pears, and walnuts on this unique pizza meet zinfandel’s richness for a bold and fruity pairing experience.
