Cranberry sauce is a sweet and tart condiment made by simmering fresh cranberries with sugar and orange zest until the berries burst and thicken into a jammy consistency. The sauce's vibrant red color and tangy flavor make it a perfect accompaniment to roasted meats, particularly turkey, and a staple during holiday meals.

The tart and sweet flavors of cranberry sauce, made by simmering cranberries with sugar and orange, pair well with a sparkling white wine like Tocai Friulano. The wine's crisp acidity and subtle fruit notes complement the sauce's tanginess, while the effervescence cleanses the palate. Alternatively, a light-bodied, fruity red like Dolcetto can provide a delightful contrast to the sauce's vibrant flavors.
