Pasta with tomato sauce is an acidic dish, so the right wine needs to be low in acidity and tannins to avoid an unpleasant sour or tart taste.

Roasted chicken, which has a firm texture and can be slightly dry, requires a medium intensity wine with low tannins.

This wine has an intense crimson color, maintaining its hue throughout the glass. This is a wine that will drink well during the next three to four years, and a great match for almost anything on the grill.
