Campanha is Brazil's most southerly wine-producing region, located along the country's border with Uruguay. While not quite as well known as the neighboring region of Serra Gaucha, Campanha – sometimes known as Fronteira – is beginning to attract attention for the quality of its wines. Soft, fruit-driven reds and rustic, full-bodied whites are made here from grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat and Chardonnay.

Red wine is wine made from dark-coloured grape varieties. The color of red differs based on the grapes variety or varieties used.Interestingly, black grapes yield a juice that is greenish-white. The actual red color comes from anthocyan pigments (also called anthocyanins) from the skin of the grape (exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red colored juice). Most of the production centers around the extraction of color and flavor from the grape skin.
