côtes du rhône
The appellation Côtes du Rhône AOC is a regional denomination, which includes all the wines produced in the vast territory of the Vallée du Rhône. The Côtes du Rhône AOC specification provides for the production of white, rosé and red wines. Most of the production comes from the southernmost area of the Appellation, with a Mediterranean climate, mitigated by the proximity of the sea.
The most cultivated vines are the red berried ones, in particular: grenache, syrah, cinsault and carignan. They are pleasantly harmonious, warm and intense red wines. Whites, on the other hand, are produced with grenache blanc, roussanne, marsanne, bourboulenc, clairette and viogner. They are fresh wines, with a rich and harmonious bouquet, typically Mediterranean.
