Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. You could try Peju Province Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 38 dollars per bottle.
