Pairings

What loves what.

A working list, not a commandment. Match weight, match acid, or match the sauce — then ask the sommelier if the table is still arguing.

  • Tomato pasta with Chianti

    Meat

    Tomato pasta, pizza, ragù

    Acid wants acid. Sangiovese was born for this table.

    • Chianti Classico

      Cherry, herbs, and snap for tomato and olive oil.

    • Barbera

      Even higher acid when the sauce is rich.

    • Nero d'Avola or simple Montepulciano

      Weeknight Italian, no fuss.

    Skip: Flabby, low-acid reds — they taste sweet and dull next to tomato.
