OUR FAVORITE WINE REGIONS
A Combination of Harsh Conditions, Rich Flavors, and Health Benefits
In our favorite wine regions, the vines undergo a form of "torture" due to their challenging and harsh conditions. Surprisingly, this process leads to grapes that are rich in flavor and significantly higher in resveratol content. Resveratol, renowned for its numerous health benefits, has been hailed as the "fountain of youth." These regions are often characterized by natural resistance to pests, either due to extreme dryness, cold temperatures, or a lack of favorable conditions for fungal growth. As a result, the wines produced in these regions are not only free of pesticides but also boast high levels of resveratol, making them exceptionally beneficial for health while offering a truly delightful taste.
