Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese are great choices for Pulled Pork. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. You could try La Celia Pioneer Malbec. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.
La Celia Pioneer Malbec
La Celia Pioneer Malbec
The 2017 Finca La Celia Pioneer Malbec is an attractive wine with aromas of fresh and ripe fruit, in perfect harmony with the delicacy of the violets and oak aging notes. Very good attack on the palate, with fruity concentration, typical of Malbec, palate medium firm but at the same time elegant. It is an ideal Malbec to drink with the Argetine roast beef with typical “empanadas”.
