What gives red wine its color?
The color of red wine is the result of the interaction between the must and grape skins during the fermentation process. Pigments in the skin, such as anthocyanin, give the wine a range of colors from purple to orange, reflecting the variety of grape and the length of maceration.
How to serve red wine?
The way red wine is served can influence the sensory experience. It is recommended to be served at a slightly higher temperature than white wines, around 16-18°C. A decanter can be used to oxygenate the wine, improving its aromaticity and structure. In this case, the decanter is not used with all wines but only and only with more developed and consequently important wines, opening and decanting them more than an hour before drinking.
How to pair the various red wines?
Food and wine pairing is an art that can enhance the flavors of both. More structured red wines, such as a Barolo or Chianti Riserva, go well with grilled red meats or rich dishes. Lighter wines, such as a Pinot Noir, are perfectly suited to fish or white meat dishes. Primitivo di Puglia, with its fruitiness, is an ideal companion for savory meat dishes and aged cheeses.
