Temperate climates in regions like Tuscany and Sicily, Italy; Rhône Valley and Bordeaux, France; and Casablanca, Chile see a range of warmth and sunshine. Grapes see longer maceration and are primarily aged in a combination of new and used oak barrels. The wines have structured tannins and a medium body like whole milk. Varietals such as Sangiovese, Nero D’Avola, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Carmenere are cellar-worthy and pair nicely with braised meats and earthy vegetables.
