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. One wine you could try is Zuccardi Aluvional Altamira Malbec. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 90 dollars.

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.
