What is a fruity red wine?

A fruity red wine is characterized by intense aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry, strawberry) and black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry). It is typically low in tannins, with great freshness and balanced acidity, making it enjoyable to drink young.

The grape varieties that produce these indulgent wines include:

• Gamay (Beaujolais): light, juicy, and very fruity.
• Pinot Noir (Burgundy, Alsace): fine, elegant, with notes of cherry and raspberry.
• Grenache (Côtes-du-Rhône, Languedoc): round and generous with aromas of strawberry and sweet pepper.
• Cinsault (Provence, Languedoc): soft and floral, ideal for digestible and aromatic wines.
