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 Susana Balbo Nosotros Single Vineyard Nomade Malbec. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 109 dollars per bottle.
