Description

Full-bodied red wine is a type of wine characterized by its intense flavor and robust structure, generally with a high content of tannins and alcohol, which gives it a rich and persistent texture on the palate. This wine usually presents deep notes of ripe fruit, spices, and in some cases, smoky or earthy nuances.

The origin of full-bodied red wine is linked to classic wine regions such as La Rioja and Ribera del Duero in Spain, as well as various areas of Latin America, like Chile's Central Valley or Mendoza in Argentina, where the climate and grape variety favor the production of wines with these characteristics.

Among its properties, full-bodied red wine is valued in gastronomy for its ability to pair with intense and flavorful foods, such as red meats, stews, aged cheeses, and spicy dishes. Furthermore, it contains natural antioxidants like polyphenols, which can provide health benefits when consumed in moderation.

In different regions of Latin America, this wine may also be known by different synonyms or related terms, though not always exact to "full-bodied." Some examples are: robust wine, strong wine, or simply intense red wine.
