Taste profile – what dominates?

Guess first: which sensation dominates this dish?

Wenn dieser Wein nicht verfugbar ist…

If this exact wine is not available, reach for a similar style: same colour, comparable body and a similar level of acidity or tannin. This keeps the balance between dish and glass intact.

Warum dieses Pairing funktioniert
The lively acidity of the Chianti adds freshness to the richness of melted mozzarella and olive oil, keeping the Margherita pizza light. Red fruit supports the sweet tomato while herbal notes build an aromatic bridge straight to the fresh basil.
