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

"One of the city’s best region-specific Italian restaurants can be found in Noe Valley, showcasing Sardinia, (also known as paradise on earth). The wines produced on this little island off Italy’s main peninsula deserve more attention than they get, as does its cuisine. Sardinia has it all and so does La Ciccia, from big bold age-worthy reds to pair with meaty mains and spaghetti tinged with tomato, caramel-colored, sherry-like wines that are excellent companions to the bottarga that is liberally applied to many dishes, and several bright and fruity Vermentino to complement their seafood offerings." - Coral Sisk
