RIO TO RED RED WINERY

The RIO TO RED RED WINE DETAIL PAGE offers a unique exploration of Alicante Bouschet, a rare teinturier grape with red flesh that gives it extraordinary depth. Originating from unknown regions but known for its deep color and dark fruit notes like blackberry, black plum, and blueberry, this wine also carries hints of pepper, cocoa, earth, and sometimes a rustic herbal edge. With a full-bodied structure and moderate tannins, Alicante Bouschet is versatile in both varietal bottlings and blends, making it suitable for dishes such as grilled meats, stews, sausages, barbecue, roasted vegetables, and hard cheeses. While the grape's potential can be overshadowed by its color in some places, careful producers have shown that Alicante Bouschet can indeed offer more than just a visual statement at the table.
