Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi
Marches Verdicchio — lemon, varietal bitter almond and minerality form the classic Italian white pairing for pizza marinara; simplest Neapolitan recipe (San Marzano tomato, garlic, oregano, olive oil, no cheese), taut freshness slicing the wood-fired tomato acidity 90 seconds at 450°C, bitter almond prolonging dried oregano.
Frappato
Sicilian Frappato, light and juicy at 12.5° alcohol, accompanies southern Italian pizza marinara; crisp strawberry and discreet tannins respecting the cheese-free simplicity, herbal edge mirroring dried oregano, Mediterranean freshness holding the raw extra-virgin olive oil drizzle.
Falanghina del Sannio
Sannio Falanghina (native Campanian grape on volcanic soils at the Vesuvius foot) — lemon, green apple and volcanic minerality form the authentic Neapolitan regional pairing for pizza marinara; local wine of pizza's homeland, volcanic minerality echoing San Marzano tomato grown on the same Campanian volcanic soils.
