Rosé wine

Rosé wine is a type of wine characterized by its pink color, a result of brief contact between the grape juice and the skins during fermentation. It is primarily made from red grape varieties, but through a process that yields this distinctive hue, which lies between white and red wine.

The origin of rosé wine dates back to various winemaking traditions, especially from regions like the South of France, where Rosé is very popular, as well as in Spain and the rest of the Mediterranean. Today, its production extends worldwide, standing out in wine-producing countries such as Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay in Latin America.

Regarding its properties, rosé wine is typically light, fresh, and fruity, with lower tannins than red wines, making it ideal for pairing with a wide range of dishes like fish, salads, pasta, and white meats. Furthermore, it contains natural antioxidants from the grape, although in lower quantities than red wines.

In different Spanish-speaking regions, rosé wine is also known as "vino rosé" (adapted from French), "vino rosado", and in some countries, it may simply be referred to as "vino rosa". However, "vino rosado" is the most common and recognized term in Latin American cooking recipes.
