Affordable (yet good) Wines for Christmas: 11 Labels Under 20 Euros to Pair with Boiled and Braised Meats

Dec 20 2023, 17:30
Barbera, Morellino di Scansano, Nebbiolo, Bardolino... these are just a few of the ideal wines for pairing with boiled and braised meats that we propose, among those awarded in the 2024 Berebene guide by Gambero Rosso for the best quality-price ratio.

Let's say you've made broth for tortellini or cappelletti, or to flavour anything else you desire. Essentially, besides the first course, you've already prepared the mains. Yes, because the meat that flavoured that broth is ready and steaming to be eaten, maybe with the accompaniment of some sauces, or simply with good olive oil and salt. Therefore, a capon leg, a piece of chicken, or the beef brisket after giving so much can still offer a lot; the important thing is to enhance everything to the fullest. Even by choosing the right wine. We have focused mainly on light and lively reds, emphasising their drinkability rather than their structure. We have selected them from the wines in the 2024 Berebene guide by Gambero Rosso, so only excellent labels are available for less than 20 euros: you will find some classic denominations and some inspiration outside the usual paths because sometimes we also enjoy experimenting.
