White wine is produced using various techniques that process white grapes to extract only the juice and thus remove the skins. It can also be produced from red grapes (such as Pinot Noir) by immediately separating the skins from the juice, unlike the red wine-making process, which involves macerating the skins as well to extract color and flavor compounds. It appears yellow in various shades (ranging from greenish to amber, including straw-yellow and golden); it is generally characterized by floral and fruity aromas and should be served at a temperature between 8 °C and 14 °C; On the palate, sensations of freshness and acidity predominate, although as the serving temperature rises, unpleasant bitter notes may emerge.
