Pizza Pasta!
Two of the most popular red wines in the store are the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from Zacagnini and the Primativo from Le Sciare.
Montepulciano is the variety of grape that is the most widely planted grape in Italy. It should not, but it always is, be confused with dry red wine from the town of Montepulciano where they dont grow any Montepulciano. The Zaccagnini is the easiest wine to recognize in the store. It has a piece of grape vine attached to the neck of the bottle. It sells for $15.99 a bottle and is easy drinking and full of flavor to compliment pizza and red sauce pasta. Smooth enough for a Merlot drinker, complex enough for classic Italian red drinker.
Primativo is the variety of grape in southern Italy that is the same grape as the Zinfandel of California. But wait. DNA analysis proves that the Primativo is in fact native not to Italy but somewhere on the north east coast of the Adriatic. This wine is equally yummy but has a bit more fruit to it. This works better if you put red hot pepper flakes on your pizza or love your red sauce fra Diavolo. This sells for $12.99 a bottle.
Oh, the new and improved Domino's pizza is better than it used to be.
