Tannic, Sweet-Sour Cherry Reds

These wines really only work well with robust, meaty meals, and merely clash with cold meat dishes such as cold pork or chicken.

• Rich game dishes (Best match)
• Warming, herby stews
• Roast or grilled red meats
• Mushroom or meat risottos
• Roast chicken or turkey with stuffing (Good match)

Tannic, sweet-sour cherry reds include wines such as ...

- Nebbiolo based wines, such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Langhe, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Carema and Gattinara from the North-west of Italy
- The fruitier Dolcetto wines, again from North-west Italy: Dolcetto d'Asti and Dolcetto d'Acqui, or the slightly heavier Dolcetto d'Alba.
- The heavier Chiantis from Tuscany, such as Classico Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
