While the Rhône is divided into two distinct parts, this wine comes from the southeastern section, specifically the Côtes-du-Ventoux appellation, which officially changed its name to Ventoux AOC in 2009. The area spans over 50 municipalities in the Vaucluse department, where vineyards are arranged like an amphitheater on the lower slopes of the Monts de Vaucluse and Mont Ventoux, famously known as the \"Giant of Provence.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe climate in this part of the southern Rhône is predominantly Mediterranean, yet it is heavily influenced by the altitude and the surrounding mountains. Mont Ventoux creates a cooler microclimate with significant temperature variations between day and night, which slows down the ripening process of the grapes compared to the warmer, lower-lying appellations in the valley. The vineyards are also exposed to the powerful Mistral wind and are planted on highly diverse soils consisting of red clay, limestone, sand, marl, and ancient rocky mountain deposits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaining its official AOC status in 1973, the appellation is primarily recognized for its red wines, which are typically classic Southern Rhône blends utilizing grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Carignan. This 1990 vintage holds the Appellation Côtes du Ventoux Contrôlée classification and was bottled directly at La Vieille Ferme, presenting an alcohol content of 12.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Vieille Ferme","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57208905269574,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-845_72d1704d-3ea4-4a56-a0b6-2da319323fb1.jpg?v=1787827692","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/cotes-du-ventoux-la-vieille-ferme-1990","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
