There’s no *wine-ing* at Umbria Hospitality Group restaurants! Between La Terrazza and Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar, our wine selections are almost endless—meaning there are ample options to pair with your meal. Naturally, we have recommendations when it comes to pairings, as reds match better with some dishes while whites couple better with others. But don’t worry, with all the choices between our two restaurants, there’s bound to be a pairing that tickles your fancy. Don’t hesitate to ask your server for recommendations as well!
Mulino’s Principessa Pizza + La Terrazza’s Donatella Pizza | Light White Wines or Bubbles
These two bechamel-based pizzas pair best with a lighter, more refreshing white wine that can balance out the heaviness of those rich and creamy sauces. Spring for a chardonnay (especially unoaked), pinot grigio, or sauvignon blanc. Champagne, sparkling rosé, or other bubbles would also be a great choice, which La Terrazza has plenty of!
La Terrazza’s Tuna Tartare | RosĂ©
The acidity and minerality of La Terrazza’s tuna tartare—also starring avocado and yuzu—is a great match for rosĂ© as the beverage brings out the rich fat content in raw tuna. You could also go for a lighter-bodied red if that’s more up your alley.
Mulino’s Pepperoni Pizza | Bold Fruity Reds
Yes, even something as simple as a pepperoni pizza can be taken up a notch with a perfectly paired glass of wine! We recommend enjoying with a vino that will complement the strong flavors of the pepperoni—think a Sangiovese, cabernet, or zinfandel. These have deep notes and sometimes even savory qualities.
La Terrazza and Mulino’s Fritto Misto | Crisp White Wine
When it comes to delicate fried seafood like both restaurants’ fritto misto (featuring calamari, shrimp, etc.), we suggest pairing with a crisp white wine that’ll cut through some of that oiliness. Sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio are good basic options, in addition to albariño and vinho verde.
La Terrazza and Mulino’s Tagliatelle | Medium-Bodied Reds
The ragu in La Terrazza and Mulino’s Bolognese sauces goes great with a Chianti, Barolo, or Lambrusco, which will also give you those subtle bubbles if you’re a sparkling wine fan. The robust flavors and bright acidity of these blends perfectly cut through the richness of a Bolognese while enhancing its depth of ingredients.
Mulino’s Red Wine-Braised Lamb Shank | Full-Bodied Reds
You guessed it—when it comes to this dish, red wine is the best pairing! A full-bodied grape blend is your best bet, like a tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, grenache, or rioja. These hearty, robust options nicely complement the rich flavors of meat.
