IGP Alpilles

IGP Alpilles is a wine-growing region located in the Provence region of France. It is named after the Alpilles mountain range, which provides a Mediterranean climate for grape growing. The wines produced in this region are primarily red wines made from the grape varieties Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, and white wines made from Rolle (Vermentino) and Ugni Blanc. The wines from this region are typically fresh, light-bodied with good acidity, and have flavours of red fruits, garrigue, and a hint of spice for reds and floral, citrus and stone fruits for whites. IGP stands for Indication Géographique Protégée, which is a lower level of classification than the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) but still ensures that the wine was produced in a specific geographic area with certain rules and regulations.
