Beaujolais

Interesting

Red · Light · Dry

Gamay-based reds from southern Burgundy — light, fruity, food-friendly. The serious Cru bottlings (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent) drink like Pinot Noir at half the price.

Why it works with Fresh Figs With Prosciutto Or Raw Ham

Beaujolais brings cherry and earth alongside Fresh Figs With Prosciutto Or Raw Ham; no clash, no domination, just balance.

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Fresh Ham

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

A Southwest French appellation neighboring Bordeaux — similar grape varieties, lighter style, modest prices.

Lambrusco

Interesting

Red · Light · Off-dry

Italy's pizza wine — slightly sparkling, slightly off-dry, low alcohol, and built to cut through sausage and cheese. The good Emilia-Romagna versions are dry and seriously good.

Malbec

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Why it works with Fresh Ham

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.

A specialty bottling we haven't documented in detail. Treat the first sip as research — note the body and acidity, then choose food that matches.

Rosé De Loire

Interesting

Rosé · Light · Dry

Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Why it works with Fresh Figs With Prosciutto Or Raw Ham

Rosé De Loire cuts an unexpected partner for Fresh Figs With Prosciutto Or Raw Ham — strawberry-and-citrus brightness against the meat's depth.

Syrah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Why it works with Fresh Ham

Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Fresh Ham

Jammy Zin lifts BBQ-style and bigger-flavored preparations.
