Syrah

Syrah is one of the most iconic and widely admired black grape varieties in the world, known for intense, structured reds with plenty of character. Native to the Rhône Valley in France, Syrah has spread to vineyards everywhere thanks to its remarkable versatility and its ability to adapt to different terroirs. Wines made from Syrah stand out for their fruity, spicy aromas and their great longevity.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous and widely planted black grape varieties in the world, prized for its ability to produce elegant, structured and long-lived wines. Native to France, and in particular to the Bordeaux region, it is now grown in almost every wine-producing country, adapting to different climates and terroirs. With its distinctive aromatic profile and its versatility, Cabernet Sauvignon is considered the "king" of red varieties.

Malbec

Malbec is a black grape variety of French origin, historically widespread in the Cahors area of south-west France, where it was known as Côt or Auxerrois. Today it has become the emblematic grape of Argentina, where it has found an ideal home in the high altitudes of the Andes, particularly in Mendoza, becoming one of the most recognisable reds in the world. It gives intense, deep and velvety wines, with firm but ripe tannins and an aromatic range that spans dark fruit and spices through to balsamic and floral notes.
