I quite like the sound of that! I had no idea red wine was made from green grapes too.
My grandfather was from Friuli, a province in northern Italy. Friulanos are usually known for their cheese, but they aren't too shabby in the wine department. He was a winemaker, even after he emigrated, and his canteen is still full of his beautiful full body red wines.
He grew lots of red grapes, and a few green ones. As a little girl, he would plunk me barefoot into a huge barrel full of red grapes, and I'd crush them with my tiny feet.
Brings back lots of memories, for sure. I feel good educating myself on wines, as if I'm doing justice to his heritage.
