Lo-Fi Wines X Pizza Madre

Overview

Marrickville's Pizza Madre is already a firm favourite among pizza fanatics and vegetarians alike. Now, the shop is giving us even more to love with the launch of a monthly pizza and wine dinner. This month, Lo-Fi Wines will be in the house on Wednesday, April 10 from 7–9pm. Expect a pizza feast, along with a flight of six natural wines from Italy and Australia.

The Aussie importer sources its wines from family-operated, sustainable producers from around the globe. So, expect minimal intervention, pét-nat and skin-contact wines on offer from Australia's Architects of Wine, Delinquente Wine and Ephemera, and Italy's Al Di La Del Fiume, Colombaia and Alessandro Viola.

For eats, there'll be snacks on arrival, followed by a pizza and salad banquet — with enough pizza for guests to inhale one whole pie each. And everything, as usual in the restaurant, will be meat-free.

There will be four pizzas up for grabs, including zucchini flower with rainbow tomato, yellow capsicum, black olive and pine nut crumb; potato, spinach and fried capers with fior di latte and smoked cheddar; and the butternut squash with fior di latte and buttermilk ricotta topped with walnuts and smoked garlic oil. The evening will finish up with a sweets and dessert wine pairing.

The whole shebang will set you back $75 and seats are very limited — but there are a few spaces left, so grab 'em while you can.

Pizza Madre's monthly wine dinners will continue with cool climate bottles from Canberra District's Mallaluka Wines in May and organic drops from the Blue Mountains' Frankly, This Wine Was Made By Bob in June. Keep an eye on the pizzeria's Facebook for event updates and ticket info.
