The Top 4 Noble red varieties account for 80% of red wine sales. Grenache (Garnacha in Spain), Tannat, Primitivo, Nebbiolo, Petit Verdot… are part of a broad category known as “Other Reds”. Grenache often used in blends but can be impressive by itself. Tannat has the highest tannin concentration, Primitivo grown in Puglia is opulent, Petit Verdot adds richness to Bordeaux blends and Nebbiolo is the grape of the famous Barolo reds.
