Cabernet Sauvignon

Classic 5 dishes

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.

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 Wild Boar Venison & Italian Sausage

Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.

Nebbiolo

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco — pale ruby in the glass but ferocious on the palate. Rose, tar, dried cherry, and tannins that need time. Old-school greatness.

Why it works with Venison Sausage With Potato Puree

Nebbiolo's weight matches Venison Sausage With Potato Puree's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.

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 Wild Boar Venison & Italian Sausage

Clean Italian white that lets seafood and vegetable preparations breathe.

Prosecco

Classic

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 Wild Boar Venison & Italian Sausage

Off-dry bubbles work from antipasti through to dessert — Italy's all-purpose sparkler.

Sangiovese

Classic

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 Wild Boar Venison & Italian Sausage

Bright Italian acid meets tomato sauce — the table-wine logic that Tuscan cooks have known forever.

Shiraz

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.

Why it works with Venison Sausage

Pair Venison Sausage with Shiraz when you want both wine and meal to push back equally.

Red · Medium · Dry

Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.

Why it works with Game Or Venison Sausage

Lighter than a Cabernet, Shiraz (syrah) still has the weight to match Game Or Venison Sausage's body.
