In the summer, red wines are not drunk? False, very false. There are many wines, both Italian and foreign, that can be safely tasted in the summer, as long as they are served at the right temperature.
Characteristics of Summer Red WinesThe ideal red wines for summer are light, fresh, with good acidity and little structure. One factor to take into account is the alcohol content; we recommend choosing wines that do not exceed 13% vol, to ensure lightness and drinkability.
Serving Temperature Contrary to popular belief, not all red wines should be served at room temperature. In summer, some can also be enjoyed when served chilled, around 14-18 °C.
Buying Tips When purchasing red wines for the summer, opt for young ones and avoid aged ones, which may lose their complex aromatic notes if served cold.
Don't hesitate to experiment and break the traditional mold. Summer can be the perfect opportunity to discover new facets of red wines, appreciating them in a different and refreshing context. Cheers!
