Chicago sommeliers offer suggestions for red wines that are enjoyable during hot summer weather.
A selection of red wines that are good to drink during hot summer weather are, from left, Vietti Langhe Nebbiolo Doc Perbacco 2020, Ridge East Bench Zinfandel 2021 and Morgon 2021.
For those seeking more structured, tannic expressions of reds, light- to medium-bodied wines from Piedmont in northern Italy, such as nebbiolo from Langhe, dolcetto or barbera “have the acidity and tannin to stand up to a rib-eye, but could also pair well with heartier fish dishes or poultry,” Sakai says.
For those who prefer powerfully ripe, luscious reds year-round, “an especially fun pairing for your summertime barbecue is zinfandel,” Polite says. Zinfandel offers an intensity of ripe, rich fruit “that plays along well with the sweetness of barbecue sauce,” Polite says, but with a softness of tannins that is approachable young.
