Heavy wine
Heavy wine is characterized by a high alcohol content, typically reaching at least 13.5%, and a full body. These wines have an intense and complex flavor profile, often with pronounced tannins, contributing to their rich character. The production of heavy wines requires ripe grapes, which give the wine depth and expressiveness.
Heavy wines are ideal for pairing with rich, heavier dishes, such as fatty meats or dishes with strong sauces. They are also an excellent choice for quiet evenings by the fireplace during the cold winter months, where their complex flavor and aroma can create a pleasant and warming atmosphere.
