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. 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.
