Pulses, while modest in appeal, enhance dishes and pair seamlessly with wines from the same region, such as Chianti with Tuscan beans or Malbec with cassoulet.
A general wine-pairing rule is to match the roots of a dish with locally produced wines. For instance, a cassoulet pairs well with acidic rustic reds.
Creamy white beans love lightly oaked chardonnays or chenin blancs, but with lemon dressing, crisper options are better. Consider Asda's Wine Atlas Carricante for value.
For earthy dishes featuring lentils, pinot noir echoes beautifully, either from an elegant Burgundy or a simpler New World selection based on your budget.
