Description

Mole Poblano is a nutty, spicy sauce containing chili peppers, tomatoes, dried fruit, seeds and chocolate.

Mole Poblano comes with chicken, pork or beef.

With such strong flavors, the wine risks being drowned, that't why the choice is a robust red wine.

For this dish you need to mind your tannins (medium is ok) and go for something both fruity and fleshy.
