Red · Medium · Dry
Piedmont's everyday red and Italy's secret food wine — high acid, low tannins, juicy red cherry, and a touch of earth. Pairs effortlessly with anything red-sauce.
Why it works with Pasta & Peanut Satay Sauce
Northern Italian red with bright acid handles pasta with tomato or meat sauce.
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 Beef Satay With Peanut Sauce
Cabernet's tannic structure anchors beef's protein and fat.
Red · Medium · Dry
Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.
Why it works with Pasta & Peanut Satay Sauce
Chianti is the pasta wine of choice — cherry, leather, cleansing acid.
White · Medium · Off-dry
Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.
Why it works with Peanut Satay
Lychee and rose notes lock onto galangal, lemongrass, and Thai basil at their own register.
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 Beef Satay With Peanut Sauce
Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs cleanly with red meat.
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Why it works with Pasta & Peanut Satay Sauce
Clean white that works with cream-sauce and seafood pasta.
Sparkling · Light · Off-dry
Veneto's everyday sparkler — Glera grape, charmat method, frothier and fruitier than Champagne. Pear, white flowers, easy fun. Made for aperitivo.
Why it works with Peanut Satay
Off-dry sparkling cleanses the palate between bites of curry and chili-laced dishes.
White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Why it works with Peanut Satay
Off-dry Riesling's acid and sweetness tame chili heat while echoing Thai fruit-and-herb aromatics.
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 Peanut Satay
Dry rosé bridges the heat-sweetness-acidity triangle Thai cooking depends on.
Red · Medium · Dry
The soul of Tuscany — bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a savory line of acidity that craves tomato sauce. Chianti is the everyday face; Brunello is its serious cousin.
Why it works with Pasta & Peanut Satay Sauce
Italy's table wine for Italy's table dish — Sangiovese acid meets tomato sauce naturally.
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 Beef Satay With Peanut Sauce
Syrah's pepper notes complement grilled and braised beef preparations.
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 Beef Satay With Peanut Sauce
Jammy Zin lifts BBQ-style and bigger-flavored preparations.
