VinoLoverIn the previous publication, we explained which types of wines, in general terms, tend to be our favourites to enjoy at this time of the year and why. The wines that will best accompany us during winter will be mature, complex, structured, deep wines, preferably with high alcohol and tannin content, thanks to the ageing time in wood.
Below, we offer you a selection of our expert sommeliers with 5 ideal red wines for winter that will help guide you in your purchase for the coming months.
