What is the difference between white, rosé and red wines?
White: made with white grapes that are pressed before fermentation to separate the juice from the fruit skins. Or, red grapes from which the skins are removed before fermentation. It is lighter and more refreshing, and therefore, it is a great accompaniment to seafood and salads, for example.
Rosé: produced from red grapes. The skins are in contact with the must for less time than in reds. It can be light and refreshing or a little full-bodied, depending on the fermentation process. It is usually served with light dishes, such as grilled chicken or salads.
Red: made with red grapes. During maceration, the fruit's skin comes into contact with the juice, resulting in a red liquid. It is more full-bodied and is usually served with red meats and hard cheeses.
How to choose the best wine?
Your choice can be made easier if you take some factors into consideration. For example: depending on the pairing; if it is a light dish such as salad, white meat and seafood, opt for white or rosé wine. If it is red meat, choose red wine.
Another option for choosing the best wine is to consider the climate. Cold days, such as autumn and winter, call for red wine. Spring and summer seasons combine with the freshness and lightness of white and rosé wines.
