| Sortencharakteristische Merkmale |
Sweet and dry red wines are produced from this variety as, showing flavors of blackberry and raspberry, rose-scented aromas and a deep-purple hue. The grapes' thick skins mean that tannins can sometimes be overwhelming, although this is usually countered with oak aging, which helps to soften wines before they are bottled. |
