Mozzarella & Wine — a perfect duet for the senses

When it comes to mozzarella — one of the most versatile cheeses — the natural question is:
What wine is its perfect match?

The right pairing brings out the creamy texture and richness of its delicate dairy notes, unlocking a whole new level of enjoyment.

Fresh mozzarella — a bright partner for crisp white wines

At its purest, mozzarella is soft, juicy, and refreshing.
It needs a wine that complements its gentle nature.
Sauvignon Blanc, with its citrus and herbal tones, or a light, bubbly Prosecco, bring the perfect balance — they don’t overpower, but highlight mozzarella’s softness and add a fresh layer of elegance.

Smoked mozzarella — a bold match for reds

With deeper, more robust aromas, smoked mozzarella calls for a wine with character.
A classic choice: Chianti — its fruity, spicy notes mirror the smokiness beautifully.
Merlot, with smooth tannins and soft fruit tones, also pairs well — rounding out the flavor for a smooth, indulgent finish.

Mozzarella in salads — rosé brings playful freshness

When mozzarella is part of a Caprese salad — with ripe tomatoes and fresh basil — you need a wine that refreshes and unites all the flavors.
Rosé wines, with fruity and floral notes, strike just the right balance:
subtle enough not to overpower the cheese, vibrant enough to bring every bite to life.

How to serve and enjoy

When pairing mozzarella and wine, temperature is key.
Fresh mozzarella and Prosecco should be well chilled, while smoked mozzarella and reds shine best at slightly below room temperature.
Serve with rustic bread, olive oil, and herbs — and surrender to the richness of the moment.

And when flavors align just right?

That’s when it becomes art.

Mozzarella and wine are a story — a moment of pleasure, an invitation to explore and play.
