Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

Pork Tenderloin can be paired with Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese. 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. One wine you could try is Bodega Norton Malbec Reserva. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.
