Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

Pork Tenderloin works really well 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. You could try Zuccardi Aluvional Altamira Malbec. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 90 dollars per bottle.

Deep red and violet hues. Complex fruit character with notes of strawberry, cherry, and plum, complemented by fresh herbal and floral notes. The palate has a silky entry with a lively acidity, great structured tannins, and a long finish.
