Color perception is an important step in the wine tasting process, as the first impression is likely to affect your final judgment.
Dark wines often remind us of tannins, heavy bodies, and intense flavors, because the tannins, pigments, and flavors in a wine come mostly from the skins.
In red wine, there are some kinds of thick skin or rich anthocyanin content in the skin, and can lead to darker wine, but each kind of dark wine taste and flavor performance have certain differences.
Typical aroma: Berry, cypress, almond, violet, licorice and coffee.
Main production area: Piemonte, Italy.
Palate: Smooth and round, fruity, aromatic, low acid.
Dorado is an early maturing, low acid red grape variety, which is grown almost entirely in the provinces of Cuneo and Alessandria in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy.
The result is a soft, round, fruity, aromatic wine, often with liquorice and almond notes.
Most varietal wines need to be drunk within two or three years, but the excellent varietal wines of Alba and Ovada will age for at least five years or more.
Varietal is rarely blended with other grape varieties, mainly because it is mostly grown in the Piedmont region, where monoculture is preferred.
Even the shortest fermentation time with this remarkable Anthocyanins content within the grape skin of gorgeous peach does not affect the deep ruby red or purple color of gorgeous peach wine.
Typical aroma: Blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, strawberry, cherry, chocolate and tobacco.
Production area: Chile.
Palate: Spicy flavor, high tannin content.
Chile is now Gamina’s new base.
The limited production of Gamena is often used to make dark, full-bodied wines that are more late ripening than Cabernet Sauvignon and, if production can be effectively controlled, produce extremely fine wines that combine Merlot‘s charm with Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure.
Gamena wines often have ripe tomato-like flavors, sometimes with rich and herbaceous aromas.
Typical aroma: raspberry, blueberry, mulberry, plum, cedar and leather.
Major production areas: Madiran, Southwest France, Uruguay.
Palate: Rich tannins and firm texture.
Dana’s French name means tannin rich.
It is the main ingredient in the making of Madilang wine and is by far the most important grape variety in Uruguay.
In the Madirang region, Dena is often blended with Cabernet franc, cabernet Sauvignon and Ferservadou and aged for at least 20 months in oak barrels to improve the convergence of its heavy tannins.
If it is in the Madiland region that Danna is noblest, it is in the particularly firm reds and rose wines of Cotede St-Mont, Irouleguy, and (less frequently) those labeled Tursan and Bearn,
It is more populist.
In addition, the Dana grape can be used to make Port and Beaujolais style wines.
Aromas: Currant, blackcurrant, blueberry, plum, cedar, liquorice, clove and smoke.
Main production areas: Argentina, Southwest France.
Palate: Acidity and tannin content are generally medium.
Malbec wines are known for their intense dark fruit and smoky flavors, and their full style is similar to Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah, but they are usually much more affordable.
Malbec is found mainly in Mendo, San Juan and Salta in Argentina, and in the southwestern region of France, Bordeaux and the Loire Valley.
The aroma is predominantly fruity, with notes of black cherry, plum, raspberry, blackberry and blueberry, as well as vanilla, fennel, coconut, cocoa and milk chocolate as it ages.
Its acidity and tannin content are generally medium.
Typical aroma: Cherry, plum, blackberry and rose.
Main production area: Italy.
Palate: High acidity, low tannin content.
Barbera is a very productive and plastic red grape variety.
Most barbera is used to make fruity wines.

Barbera can make a variety of wines, but they all share some common characteristics: deep ruby red;
Full bodied, low tannin content;
The sour taste is obvious (more obvious when the yield is too high);
Vigorous and highly productive.
