Description
To complement the fat and the pepper in Salame Piccante, tomato, cheese, and other strong spices, you need a medium wine with ripe berry flavors and well-balanced tannins.
A favorite match for a Pizza is a chilled Lambrusco, but for a spicy pizza you should try a Zinfandel or a Primitivo Passitivo.
The Sweetnes pairs so well with the Chili, the Cheese and the Tomatoes.
Othewise, for a Spicy Pizza, a fruity (Italian) red wine is always a good choice.
