Then the Thursday before the Super Bowl the UPS man delivered this, with instructions to make homemade pizza and have wine with the Super Bowl.

OK, so I do as I’m told and I added homemade pizza to the menu with Cusumano’s 2015 Nero D’Avola. There, the beverage of choice for the big game.

Game day came and I made not one but three homemade pizzas. Not knowing what kind the girls like, and I figured they wouldn’t like pesto pizza, unsure on margherita pizza, I made them a traditional pizza along with the two others. (don’t judge me by my holiday paper plates, I couldn’t find football ones when I went out last minute)
Nero d’Avola is a native grape to Sicily and the most planted grape on the island. For the most part Nero d’Avola is meant to be consumed early. Cusumano’s 2015 Nero D’Avola is a very versatile wine. It’s not only a good pizza wine, but paired very well with the meatball sliders, and the smoked ribs that were done in both barbecue sauce and a mustard vinegar mop sauce.
Cusumano 2015 Nero d’Avola is aged in stainless steel for 5 months on the lees. Aromas of red and black berries fill the glass that burst into juicy blackberries in your mouth. A nice well rounded wine that finishes with layer of black pepper, baking spices and a lingering hint of licorice. SRP $12.99
I’ll leave you with a fun pizza fact:
“Research last year revealed that 6 million U.S. adults said they would give up sex for one year before giving up pizza.”
So grab a bottle of Cusumano Nero d’Avola when you pick up or make your pizza.
