Notes

Pizza Bianca con Tartufo

Perfect Wine Pairing:

A Chardonnay with buttery and oaky notes can complement the richness of the truffles and cheese without overpowering them. For those who prefer red wine, a light-bodied Pinot Noir with its subtle earthiness can also pair nicely, echoing the truffle’s woodland nuances.
