Medici Ermete Le Tenute "Solo" Reggiano 2007....$15-$18bt
Google it and buy a bottle. Chill it until it is cold, and drink with pizza. It is a dark red wine from the appelation of Reggiano (Parma-Reggiano cheese, etc...). It is frizzante- meaning it is slightly sparkling, and it has a small amount of residual sugar in it.
My wife hated it. "Agh, this tastes like grape soda!"
I love it. It is totally distinctive and unique. It really does kinda taste like grape soda- wine soda, maybe? But the slightly sweet dark fruit with the sparkling body marries fantastically with salt- salt you find in pizza dough, and salt you find in pamesan-reggiano cheese....wink, wink...
Old rule...if they grow (or are made) together, eat them together....Applies here.
