Description

Churrasco is the Portuguese term for Barbecue, hence Churrascarias are Barbecue restaurants.

Beef Picanha is a typical Brazilian Churrasco delicacy cooked skewered over charcoals.

Malbec is fruity and juicy and not so tannic, woody or spicy such a California Cab or a Bordeaux.

Thanks to this structure, is Malbec the best wine choice when it comes to the texture of a Picanha.
