Mozzarella, prosciutto, red pepper flake infused olive oil.

It's the Boar Head cheese roll and I need a wine to pair it with. The Chowhound oenophiles came through on my last request for St. Andre cheese. Would love some help w/ this one. Thanks.

    Rose: Ceresuolo, Rosato/Rosado, French Rose
    Red: Dolcetto, Grenache/Garnacha, Beaujolais. Cab is too heavy.
    White: Tocai Friulano, Arneis

      Alot of wines would work here. Some will hit the prosciutto better, some the pepper better...

      At the end of the day I'm assuming the prosciutto is the dominant flavor therefore I'd look at barbera or cabernet....

        Slightly blasphemous, but a good Rioja would pair well with that.

            Tocai would be tasty. Fiano would probably work too.
