Provence

In the splendid setting of the south of France, embraced by the sun and caressed by the Mediterranean breeze, lies Provence, one of the oldest and most enchanting wine regions in the world. With a winemaking history that dates back over 2,600 years, thanks to the ancient Greeks who introduced the vine, Provence is today a symbol of elegance, tradition, and innovation in the global wine landscape.

Provence is perhaps best known for its rosés, which make up the majority of the region's wine production. These wines, light and refreshing, are the result of a skillful blending of local grape varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The art of rosé here is a tradition passed down through generations, perfected over the centuries to offer wines with a pale color and delicate aromatic profile.

The region spans a variety of terroirs that give the wines unique characteristics. Among the most renowned appellations are Côtes de Provence, Bandol, and Cassis. Côtes de Provence is known for its elegant and versatile rosés, perfect for pairing with light Mediterranean dishes, such as fresh salads and seafood. Bandol, on the other hand, is famous for its powerful and structured red wines based on Mourvèdre, which offer notes of dark fruits, spices, and refined tannins, ideal for richer and more flavorful dishes.

But Provence is not just about rosé. The white wines, although representing a smaller part of the production, offer surprising discoveries. Varieties such as Rolle (Vermentino) and Clairette are used to create fresh and aromatic white wines, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and mineral notes, perfect for warm summer days.

Each glass of Provençal wine tells a story of sun, sea, and land. The uniqueness of Provence's wines arises not only from the grapes and terroirs but also from the Mediterranean climate that provides mild winters and hot summers, along with a varied soil ranging from limestone to clay and sandy, giving complexity and diversity to the wines.

Beyond the wines, Provence is a land of natural and cultural beauty, with its lavender fields, ancient olive groves, and picturesque villages that seem to have come straight out of an impressionist painting. Visiting Provence means immersing yourself in a complete sensory experience, where wine takes center stage, but is not the only performer.
