Three easygoing lighter-bodied red wines to try (including pinot noir’s shy cousin)
Lighter-bodied reds – we’re talking pinot meunier (pinot noir’s shy cousin), gamay (the grape of Beaujolais), dolcetto, mencia, barbera, cinsault and the lighter versions of grenache – are having their day.
Fridgeable, smashable, easygoing reds that need no cellaring and are made to enjoy young. They’re cheaper than pinot noir and pair with all types of seafood, poultry and vegetable dishes.
