This unique variety brings vibrant flavors of red fruits, herbs, and a touch of spice, often crafted into robust reds and lively rosés. Winemakers here embrace traditional practices like using native yeast and aging in local oak, creating wines that capture the soul of their rugged, beautiful landscape.
