Taurino 1999 Salice Salentino

[Innkeeper]

Salice Salentino is a very nice wine. We would prefer it more with steak than pizza. Actually there are many beef recipes from Southern Italy that have more meat than tomatoes, and it goes wonderfully with them. As Foodie well knows, we prefer acid with acid. Therefore, we like Barbera with pizza. He has conviced us through tasting that Barbera d'Alba is preferable to Barbera d'Asti. There are also many wonderful Barbera's out there from both Italy and California, and probably from other regions as well.
