Italian red meat course nearly cooked (9)
I believe the answer is:
lambrusco
'italian red' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'meat course nearly cooked' is the wordplay.
'meat' becomes 'lamb' (lamb is a kind of meat).
'nearly' means to remove the last letter.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'course' with its last letter taken away is 'cours'.
'cours' anagrammed gives 'rusco'.
'lamb'+'rusco'='LAMBRUSCO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lambrusco that I've seen before include "Medium sweet, semi-sparkling Italian red or white wine" , "Sparkling Italian wine" , "Type of Italian wine" .)
