What is red wine?
Red wine is produced from dark-skinned grapes, where the grape skins remain during fermentation, imparting color, structure and tannin to the wines. It is precisely this contact with the skins that gives red wine its characteristic dark color and complexity.
Depending on the grape variety, climate, soil and vinification, red wine can vary from light and fresh to powerful and concentrated.
French Red Wine
France is considered by many to be the world's most important wine country and is home to some of history's most iconic red wines.
Bordeaux is known for elegant wines based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while Burgundy produces some of the world's most sought-after Pinot Noir wines with great finesse and terroir character.
In the Rhône, one finds more powerful and spicy wines based on Syrah and Grenache with great depth and character.
Italian Red Wine
Italy produces some of the world's most gastronomic red wines and is especially known for areas like Piedmont, Tuscany and the Veneto.
Piedmont is home to Barolo and Barbaresco based on the Nebbiolo grape, while Tuscany produces iconic wines made from Sangiovese such as Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.
From the Veneto comes, among other things, Amarone, which is known for its concentration, fullness and intense fruit.
Spanish Red Wine
Spain is particularly known for powerful and characterful red wines from areas like Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
The Tempranillo grape plays the leading role in many of Spain's best wines and provides wines with dark fruit, spices, structure and excellent aging potential.
