Acidity
Beginner Tasting & SensoryDefinición
The tart, sharp quality in wine from natural grape acids.
En Profundidad
Acidity is one of wine's four structural pillars alongside tannin, alcohol, and sweetness. Tartaric, malic, and citric acids naturally present in grapes give wine its freshness, lift, and food-friendliness. High-acid wines taste crisp and refreshing; low-acid wines feel flabby or flat. Cool-climate wines typically show higher acidity.
