Simple and so customizable to suit our tastes, it’s one of the French’s favorite meals, since France is the world’s second biggest consumer. <\/span><\/p>\n

But which wines to choose to enhance it?<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The classic: Margherita pizza<\/h4>\n

To honor Marguerite of Savoy, wife of King Humbert I of Italy, chef Raffaele Esposito invented a pizza in the national colors: tomatoes for red, mozzarella for white and basil for green. The queen loved it, let it be known, and the pizza went around the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of margherita, the lamb’s lettuce, the fat of the cheese and the saltiness of the pasta and tomato sauce call for a lively white wine to titillate the sweetness of the dish. <\/span>Fattoressa Maddalena, Villa Cosmiana <\/span><\/a>is the Twil committee’s favorite. A wine from the Tuscan countryside, rounder and more intense than a traditional trebbiano. Rich on the palate, with aromas of apricot and honey delicately toasted, it’s the perfect accompaniment to margherita. <\/span><\/p>\n

More classic, <\/span>
\n Ch\u00e2teau De Malherbes white <\/span>
\n<\/a> is rated 92\/100 by Wine Enthusiast. A beautiful Sauvignon S\u00e9millon with pleasant aromas of small flowers and white-fleshed fruit. Full-bodied and voluminous on the palate, with hints of hazelnut. Perfect for reviving the simplicity of the dish. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Mediterranean: pizza with sunny vegetables<\/h4>\n
Italian wines<\/h5>\n

Pizza goes very well with red wines, but don’t choose just any wine. It should be light and fruity to highlight the ingredients. <\/span>Cipressi, Michele Chiarlo<\/span><\/a> is a particularly fruity Italian wine. Parker gives it a score of 91\/100. The nose reveals a rich bouquet with notes of ripe red fruit and light tobacco. A well-balanced wine between opulence and freshness. The finish is long and sapid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still in Italy, head for Sicily with a Nero d’Avola whose aromas of red berries, spices and licorice, along with mellow tannins, are the perfect accompaniment to your pizza.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

French wines<\/h5>\n

In France, Beaujolais wines are the perfect answer. But you can also set your sights on a Beaujolais, <\/span>
\n Beaujolais-Villages <\/span>
\n<\/a>or a Chiroubles cru, <\/span>
\n Brouilly<\/span>
\n<\/a> or a <\/span>
\n Saint-Amour<\/span>
\n<\/a>. The wines of <\/span>
\n C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne<\/span>
\n<\/a> are also perfect with pizza, especially when topped with olives and sun-dried vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n

To vary the pleasures, Bandol ros\u00e9 is an ideal accompaniment to eggplant pizza, for example. <\/span>Hautes Terres, Moulin De La Roque<\/span><\/a> is the reference we offer you. Organic, well-structured and affordable, this is a ros\u00e9 that should be drunk chilled. You can go there with your eyes closed! <\/span><\/p>\n
