The Best Destinations for Italian Wine in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Montesacro claims the title as the country’s first pinseria, baking pinsa, a type of oval-shaped multi-grain flatbread pizza from the Roman culinary repertoire thats highly regarded for its superior digestibility (the result of the dough’s fermentation process). For Italians, the typical pairing for pizza is beer or, for fancy gourmands, something bubbly. Montesacro has this cultural code in mind with a decent selection of high acid bubbles, bright whites and not too tannic reds to pair with its flavorful pies. Expect unconventional and off-beat wines, a focus on biodynamic and natural wines highlighted not just from around Italy but including a few wild bottles from Greece and Lebanon." - Coral Sisk
