Best known in Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Coonawarra
The backbone of Bordeaux and the world's most famous red grape. Blackcurrant, cedar and firm tannins, with real ageing potential. Riper climates give plusher fruit; cooler ones more structure and leafy freshness.
Best known in Valpolicella, Veneto
The main grape of Valpolicella and Amarone. Bright sour cherry, gentle tannins and fresh acidity in its lighter styles. Dried before fermentation, it makes the rich, powerful wines of Amarone.
Best known in Oltrepò Pavese, Colli Piacentini
A northern Italian red grape with deep colour and soft, fruity charm. Dark cherry, plum and a slightly bitter finish that works well with rich food. Often blended with Barbera, and sometimes made lightly sparkling in the Oltrepò Pavese.
Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile
Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.
Italy
Home to Prosecco, Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone. The region produces vast quantities of wine — much of it ordinary, some of it extraordinary. Amarone della Valpolicella (dried grapes, intense, powerful) is one of Italy's truly great wines.
