Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Rose Wine

Pinot Noir, Merlot, and rosé Wine are great choices for Tuna. 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. One wine you could try is Juve Y Camps Pinot Noir Brut rosé. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

Juve Y Camps Pinot Noir Brut Rose
This cava seduces with its bright cherry red color and beautiful effervescence. It reflects the character of the variety, with its cherry and strawberry notes enveloped in honey, toasted bread and a faint floweriness. It is intense, fresh and exuberant in the mouth, with a rich, aromatic finish. Pairs well with pasta, cured meats, Japanese food and baked goods.
