Pizza

[Botafogo]

I will second the motion for Aglianico based wines although you want something a bit zippy like a Sannio rosso or a minor league Aglianico del Vulture and not a serious, ageworthy, looking for roast leg of lamb Taurasi Riserva.

I am also a BIG fan of Nero d'Avola based wines from Sicilia with the pie, even better if they have a dash of Frappatto in them.

As to IK's pick of Rosso Conero, we enjoyed a bottle of Saladini Pilastri's single vineyard bottling with pizzeti do bacalhão (bite sized pizzas with olive oil, garlic and salt cod) at Rio's fabulous Ristorante Quadrifoglia last Saturday night....
