Pairing Wine with Meat | Wine Recommendations

The old school way is to pair red wine with red meat and white wine with white meat. But in reality, you can make your own rules up here, and let the textures and flavours guide you instead.

Meat generally complements rich and powerful wines thanks to its texture and bold flavours. White meats are great paired with aromatic, clean whites such as Pinot Grigio, Ribolla Gialla, Chardonnay or Verdicchio.

Read our recommendations below in order to learn the best wines to pair with meat!

Rack of Lab

A dish as rich and complex as Rack of Lamb calls for a wine with some backbone. This means wines that are full-bodied with a good level of tannins to match the dish's robust flavors and high protein content. Wines with a higher alcohol content can stand up to the lamb's richness and add an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience.

Chianti DOCG

Dry and balanced, this Chianti presents intense fruity aromas laced with violets and a cherry hint. Its light tannins evolve into velvety softness on the palate.

Nero d'Avola, IGT Terre Siciliane

A medium-bodied red wine featuring luscious cherry and raspberry notes. Mineral acidity and subtle tannins complete the fruity finish.

Passo del Lupo Rosso Conero DOC

Its brilliant ruby-red hue gives way to a complex bouquet of wild berries, wildflowers, and red fruits. Experience elegance, well-rounded richness, and pleasing concentration.

Quintodecimo Terra d'Eclano Aglianico

Organic vineyard in Irpinia, Luigi Moio's expertise. Oak-aged 18 months. Ruby hue, complex aroma of fruits and earth, balanced tannins, pairs with wild boar sauce or roast pork.

Oasi degli Angeli Kurni

A Montepulciano showpiece from Marche. It greets you with complex aromas of sour cherry, ripe plum, and subtle notes of leather. Aged in French oak, its well-rounded body makes it worthy of cellaring for a decade or more.
