Pizza Pairing

Pizza ai Funghi & Wine

Wild Mushroom & Truffle Oil

Pizza ai Funghi — with cremini, porcini, chanterelle, or truffle oil — is an earthy, umami-rich pizza that pairs with the same wines as mushroom pasta. The earthiness calls for wines that share forest-floor complexity.

Best Wine Pairings

Best Match
Pinot Noir (Burgundy)

Burgundy Pinot Noir's terroir-driven earthiness is the supreme match for wild mushroom pizza — forest meets forest.

Italian Choice
Dolcetto d'Alba DOC

Soft tannins, earthy cherry notes, and a slightly bitter finish make Dolcetto a natural companion for mushroom toppings.

Truffle Version
Barolo DOCG (village level)

If your pizza has truffle oil, upgrade to Barolo — its signature tar-and-roses with earthy depth is the classical truffle match.

White Option
White Burgundy (Mâcon-Villages)

For white wine, a lightly oaked Chardonnay from Mâcon has the nutty depth to match mushroom's earthy umami.
