Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Pizza works really well with Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine. The best wine for pizza depends on the toppings! Red sauce pizza will call for a red wine with some acidity, such as a barberan or sangiovese. Add pepperoni or sausage and you can go bolder with a syrah. One wine you could try is Rocca di Montegrossi San Marcellino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 47 dollars.

Rocca di Montegrossi San Marcellino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

This wine is produced only in great vintages, using the finest grapes selected from the San Marcellino vineyard that surrounds the Church of San Marcellino in Monti in Chianti: An area of about 7 hectares where Sangiovese (1.5 hectares of which are 50 years old) are joined by 0.9 hectares of Pugnitello, an old indigenous Tuscan grape that perfectly complements Sangiovese, bringing out its color, structure and aromas. Since 2006 the San Marcellino cuvee has included about 5% Pugnitello. The wine ages for about 24 months in medium toast Allier barriques. It is bottled unfiltered to preserve its elegance and freshness, and aged in bottle for at least 24 months prior to release. Deep ruby, with an ample, complex, and enveloping bouquet featuring fruit, in particular raspberry, and violets mingling with spice and minerality. San Marcellino displays beautiful structure, with vibrant, elegant tannins accompanied by harmonious savory accents. It’s an extremely well balanced, persistent wine.

Instructions

Heat iron skillet on medium-high heat and cook elk Italian sausage until brown. Remove from heat and set aside. Add 3 tablespoons of grape seed oil to the skillet. Saut minced garlic cloves and diced shallot in pan until they begin to soften and brown. Add sliced onion, sliced mushrooms and fresh oregano leaves to garlic and shallot mixture. Stir and continue to saut until onions become translucent and soft. Generally about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat when ready. Heat oven to 400 degrees. I like to take the left over oil from the pan and brush the top and bottom of my pizza crust. Place pizza crust upside down on cookie sheet and place in oven for about 5-6 minutes or until the top of the pizza crust begins to brown. Remove from oven. Turn pizza crust right side up and cover the top of the crust with the ricotta cheese. Add tomato sauce, top with elk Italian sausage, and add mushroom and onion mixture and then top off with chopped basil and fresh grated parmesan cheese. Place in oven and bake approximately 12-14 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and enjoy.
