Anthocyanins: The pigments that provide the red colors in grapes and wine.
Appellation of Origin: Term for the label designations that indicate the geographic origin of the grapes.
ANTHOCYANINS
Extracted during winemaking they are responsible for the color of red wines (Pigments that are red, blue and purple).

Anthocyanins are phenolic pigments that give red wine its colour according to pH.
Incude anthocyanins, anthocyanidins and pro-anthocyanidins. AOCShort for Appellation d'Origine Contrőlée (sometimes Appellation Contrőlée abbreviated as AC).
Anthocyanins phenolic compounds found in grapes which contain most of the coloring matter. Anti-oxidant substance which modifies the oxidizing tendency of free radicals, a major factor in the aging process.

Some members of this family contribute to wine colour (anthocyanins), others to astringency (the tannins) and others to wine flavour and aroma (the volatile phenols).
Maceration The contact of grape skins with the must during fermentation, extracting phenolic compounds including tannins, anthocyanins, and aroma. Madeirized A wine showing Madeira-like flavour, generally evidence of oxidation.
Anthocyanins, minerals and other organic materials are present in both. Unfortunately, there are no good scientific studies on this subject. Some migraine sufferers react to tannins and should stick to whites or soft reds.
It also lacks some of the color-creating phenolic compounds known as acylated anthocyanins.
These compounds are called anthocyanins and contribute to the red color of the fruit.
In the making of red wines, the grape skins are crushed along with the pulp. But the skins are quickly separated out during the making of most white wines.
Anthocyanins, catechins, epicatechins and other phenols present in wine are those most easily oxidised [3], which leads to a loss of colour, flavour and aroma - sometimes referred to as flattening.
Tannin: The astringent phenolic anthocyanins found in grape skins, seeds, and stems that make your mouth pucker and feel dry when you drink red wine. Tannins are extracted from the grapes during the maceration process.
In the best areas of the Medoc, the Cabernets, the majority grape on the left bank, showed exemplary ripeness with great aromatic finesse, high alcohol content and good extraction of the anthocyanins (colour).
Teinturier varieties, while containing a lot of color, usually make poor wines, perhaps due to a higher level of tannins, compounds structurally related to the anthocyanins.
Barbera grapes are also high in anthocyanins, but only low to moderate in tannin content. The resulting wines are deep, purplish black in their youth, but tend to early browning and lightening as they age.
In particular, Casavecchia, which was forgotten for years and recently revaluated with very good results, is a grape with excellent qualities capable of making wines of good elegance and deeply colored, as its content in anthocyanins is higher than ...
