This National Pinot Noir Day, we’re pairing our Avant-Garde and Estate Pinot Noir with pizza, a winning combination. Although, it’s no secret Pinot Noir can be paired with a wide range of food or enjoyed on its own.
2020 Avant-Garde with Margherita Pizza
Margherita pizza is best paired with a light styled wine whether you’re going to have a red, white or rosé. The red fruit, spice and woody characteristics of our Avant-Garde Pinot Noir pairs well with fresh mozzarella and red tomato sauce ingredients found in a classic margherita pizza.
Extremely aromatic, our 2020 Avant-Garde features aromas of fresh pomegranate and red raspberry, warm oak, and cinnamon. The palate presents notes of black cherry and a subtle suggestion of tobacco leaf. We recommend pairing this wine with a margherita pizza recipe inspired by A Beautiful Plate.
2019 Estate Pinot Noir with Mushroom, Brie and Arugula Pizza
Mushroom pizza is best paired with an earthy red wine with soft tannins like our Estate Pinot Noir. Our 2019 Estate Pinot Noir packs a range of delicious fruit and savory flavors. Beginning with the nose one encounters mandarin orange, strawberry and other brambly fruits along with earl grey tea, sassafras, and mossy forest floor. The supple tannin characteristics and silky mouth feel make it an excellent pairing with a mushroom, brie and arugula pizza with truffle crème fraîche. Try out this delicious pairing and recipe created by Christina’s Cucina.
