100 wines for game - The best labels to pair with game

Pairing red wines with game dishes is a sophisticated choice that enhances the intense and complex flavors of both. The most suitable red wines to accompany game are full-bodied ones, with robust tannins and a good structure, capable of balancing and completing the aromatic strength of the dishes.

Among the ideal wines we find Barolo , Brunello di Montalcino , Amarone della Valpolicella and Syrah, which with their spicy, tannic and ripe fruit notes, perfectly marry the richness and succulence of game. Nebbiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon can also offer excellent pairings thanks to their complexity and aromatic depth.

For example, for wild boar dishes, such as the classic wild boar stew, it is preferable to choose red wines with a strong character and good acidity, capable of contrasting the fat and the gamey notes of the meat. Amarone della Valpolicella, with its intense and fruity flavor, is an excellent choice, as is Brunello di Montalcino, which with its powerful and tannic structure enhances the flavors of the wild boar, creating a harmonious balance between wine and dish.

Another example is pasta dishes with game ragù , such as hare. In this case, it is advisable to pair red wines that have a good structure, soft tannins and an aromatic complexity capable of enhancing the intense and earthy flavors of the hare ragù. The ideal wines are those that combine elegance and robustness, with spicy and fruity notes that harmonize with the strong flavor of the hare meat, such as Chianti Classico Riserva, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano or Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Nebbiolo, wines that, thanks to their complexity and notes of undergrowth and spices, offer a refined accompaniment for pasta dishes with hare ragù, enhancing the overall taste experience.
