Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese are my top picks for Pork Tenderloin. 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. The Vinan Alicia Las Compuertas Malbec with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.

Intense red with purple highlights. An amazing combination between intensity and precision. Reveals a ripe fruit and sweet character of blackberry, plum and red fruit marmalade. It rounds off with elegant notes of pepper, bay and cinnamon. Intense black fruit, great amplitude and marked sucrosity. Stands out for its fine ripe and silky tannins and delivers an elegant and complex mouthfeel. Ageing will enhance the wine ´s complexity.Ideal to pair with fatty meat, game meat, spicy, slow cooked or grilled dishes.
