What wine goes with game?

Game, such as venison, roe deer, hare or wild boar, has a full, slightly sweet flavour and is often served with berries or a dark sauce. Barolo, made from Nebbiolo, has the tannin and acidity for a wild boar or venison stew. Côtes du Rhône, made from Grenache and Syrah, has spice and ripe fruit that suit a game ragout. With lighter game, such as pheasant or duck, Pinot Noir works well. In Tuscany they eat wild boar with Chianti or Brunello.
