Wine and pizza: how to pair them?

If there is one thing we love more than a freshly baked pizza, it is definitely a glass of wine to pair with pizza. That's why we decided to reveal the secrets of the perfect pairing between these two culinary pleasures.

When it comes to finding the right wine for pizza, there are some basic rules to keep in mind. First, it is important to consider the characteristics of wines that go well with the intense flavors of pizza.

Here at Ermacora Winery, we are proud to offer a wide selection of wines that pair perfectly with different types of pizza. You'll find a variety of options, from white wines fresh and light to reds structured and complex, selected to enhance the pizza dining experience.

Whether you prefer a classic Margherita or a pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms, you will find the perfect wine to accompany your choice. Our white wines, with their fruity notes and lively acidity, pair beautifully with the freshness and lightness of classic pizzas like the Margherita. In contrast, our red wines, with their soft tannins and complex aromas, are the ideal choice for more savory and spicy pizzas.

What white wine to drink with pizza?

White wines offer a freshness and lightness that contrast beautifully with the intense flavors of pizza.

The Friulano, with its minerality and delicate almond notes, is the ideal companion for a Margherita DOP. The floral and citrus aromas of this wine go perfectly with the simplicity and elegance of this classic pizza.

If you're looking for a burst of freshness, you can't resist the Ribolla Gialla when paired with Seafood Pizza. Its lively acidity and white fruit notes harmonize wonderfully with the marine flavors and slight spiciness of this delicacy.

For a surprising and refreshing pairing, we recommend you try La Gialla Brut in combination with a Pizza Bianca. The delicate bubbles and ripe fruit notes of this sparkling wine will transform your tasting experience into a moment of pure pleasure.

Finally, if you want a white wine with intense aromatic character, the Sauvignon is the ideal choice. With its notes of citrus, herbs and white flowers, it pairs beautifully with a Pizza with Sausage and Mushrooms. The complexity of this wine combines with the intense, earthy flavors of this pizza, creating an unforgettable pairing.

So if you're thinking about what wine to drink with pizza, don't forget to consider our white wines: Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, La Gialla Brut and Sauvignon. Explore our selection and be won over by the symphony of flavors created when pizza meets wine.

Pizza and red wine pairing

Well yes, even red wines can be perfect for pizza-wine pairing! If you are a fan of reds, you will surely be curious to find outwhat wine to pair with Margherita. We'll let you in on the secret: a red wine with personality. Our red wines have everything it takes to marry perfectly with pizza.

Margherita DOP, with its delicate flavor, requires a soft, light red wine like our Schioppettino. This indigenous wine from Friuli Venezia Giulia offers a combination of crisp red fruit and subtle spices that blend harmoniously with the delicate flavors of Margherita.

If you prefer a pizza with pepperoni or sausage, we suggest you try our more structured reds, such as the Merlot or the Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot, with its smoothness and ripe fruit notes, pairs beautifully with the savory and spicy flavors of pepperoni pizza. While Cabernet Sauvignon, with its complexity and robust structure, perfectly complements the sausage, creating a combination of great intensity and character.

If, on the other hand, you would like to experience something unique, we invite you to try our Pignolo in combination with a Pizza with Prosciutto Crudo and Arugula. This red wine with great personality has a powerful structure and aromatic complexity that marry beautifully with the contrasting, bold flavors of this pizza. The combination of these wines with the intense, spicy flavors of the pizza will create a symphony of flavors that will captivate your palate.
