Discover the grape variety: Olivette noire
The exact origin of this variety is not known and it is not related to the white olivette. Today, it is very difficult to find the Olivette noire at wine nurseries because its multiplication is almost nil, registered however in the Official Catalogue of table grape varieties list A1. There is still the possibility of grafting it yourself, provided that you get grafts that are in a satisfactory state of health, which is not always the case.

The word of the wine: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
