Of French origin, this type of vine is superbly adaptable to different geographical and climatic conditions. One of the most popular grape varieties grown all over the world, it is therefore considered an international vine. Thanks to its versatility, the wine cannot be identified or reproduced as a single type with the same organoleptic characteristics. Often its grapes are used in blends accompanying other varieties, or for the production of sparkling wines. These wines have a high alcohol content with a marked acidity.
