Petit Verdot is a late-ripening red grape variety traditionally used as a blending component in Bordeaux wines, prized for its ability to add depth, color, and tannic structure. Known for its thick skin and small, concentrated berries, Petit Verdot produces wines of intense color and high tannin levels, with a bouquet of flavors including dark fruits, spices, and, in warmer climates, notes of exotic spices and floral hints.
