Some of the people who use red wine may have a doubt. They are okay with red wine but confused with the colour of the wine being red. The colour of the red wine is red since the colour for the wine is accomplished from different varieties of grapes which range form reddish, a deep purple and even to beautiful blue.
The grapes which give colour to the wine is classified on the basis of colour like almost black, garnet, light red, dark red, ruby red, deep violet, opaque purple, maroon and so on. The skins of the grapes are responsible for providing the distinct spectrum of colours to the red wine.
The skins of the grapes remain in contact with the juice of the grapes even while the fermentation is happening. This causes the tannins as well as the colours to disperse into the wine.
The specific red hue of any individual wine is entirely dependent on the type of grapes which is used for fermentation as well as the period of time the pigmentation of the skin remains in contact with the grape juice. One can see about fifty varieties of red wine in the market.
Some of the varietals of red wine which occupy the top slot are:
Cabernet Sauvignon
Zinfandel Merlot
Pinot Noir
Cabernet Francs
Syrah
Petite Sirah
Sangiovese
Shiraz
Grenache as well as
Malbec.
The red wines are usually known by their common regional names. In France, the red wine is Bordeaux which is manufactured primarily from Cabernet Francs, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietals of grapes.
If you want to order a wine while you are in Italy, the most popular name will be Chianti, which is made from Sangiovese varietal of the grapes.
