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 Steak Diane

Cabernet Sauvignon brings bones to Steak Diane's flesh — tannin, oak, and dark fruit framing the meat's richness.

Chianti

Classic

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 Steak Diane

Lighter than a Cabernet, Chianti still has the weight to match Steak Diane's body.

Red · Medium · Dry

Sangiovese from Tuscany's historic heartland — denser fruit, longer finish, and a structure that rewards aging. The pizza wine, elevated.

Why it works with Steak Diane

Chianti Classico gives Steak Diane a savory partner — cherry, leather, and a touch of acid.

Grenache

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

The grape that puts the warmth in southern French reds — strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and a finish that's all sun and stones. The backbone of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rosé from Provence.

Why it works with Steak Diane

Red

Why it works with Steak Diane
