Côtes du Rhône, they make Alléno & Chapoutier Côtes du Rhone Rouge, a unique and tasty red wine.

Alléno & Chapoutier Côtes du Rhone Rouge is a single-variety Syrah. These lands of sands, granites and marls rich in iron oxide, are home to this variety that grows on the steep banks of the Rhône. In the northern area the climate is wetter and colder than in the south, with harsher winters and mild summers, without high temperatures. This inevitably affects the ripening of the grapes; in this area the harvests happen later, making wines with a much fresher and more defined profile than those from the south. There is also the presence of the mistral, a strong dry wind that, apart from making everyone nervous, is quite useful when it comes to keeping fungi and fungal diseases caused by humidity at bay.

Alléno & Chapoutier Côtes du Rhone Rouge is harvested by hand and processed and made in the winery with great care, resulting in a wine with a very characteristic profile.
